Planktonic foraminifera from top intervals spanning at maximum over the bast 4 ka BP of three sediment cores from the Labrador Sea: HU2008-029-004TWC, HU91-045-93BX and MD99-2227. In all samples, planktonic foraminifera were determined to the species level (based on Brummer and Kucera 2022, https://doi.org/10.5194/jm-41-29-2022). The size and weight of foraminifera shells were determined for bulk samples and some individual shells in order to assess the mass accumulation rate of planktonic foraminifera in the area of the Labrador Sea. ... : The analysed material was made available by the Université du Québéc à Montréal (UQAM) in the GEOTOP research center, which is supported by the Fonds de recherche du Québec – Nature et Technologies (FRQNT). ...
