| Summary: | Foraminiferal evidence from the eastern equatorial Pacific and from the North Atlantic indicates that the dissolution of deep-sea carbonates was intensified during interglacials rather than during glacials, in contrast to widespread opinion. Pleistoccne dissolution cycles introduce a systematic bias into the Interpretation of calcareous fossil assemblages near and below the lysocline zone. |
