Pleistocene biostratigraphic markers of the North Pacific, IODP Site U1340: Proboscia barboi, Proboscia curvirostris and Thalassiosira jouseae
Diatoms are a large and widespread group of phytoplankton with an important role in ecosystems as primary producers. They are of great use in biostratigraphic and paleoclimatic studies, namely in the Bering Sea, where they are abundantly preserved in sediments. Proboscia barboi, Proboscia curvirostr...
