Benthic foraminiferal assemblages were analyzed on forty-eight surfacesediment samples which were taken with a multiple corer from the southern South Atlantic Ocean and the northern Angola-Basin. The short cores were split into 1-cm-thick slices down to 15 cm sediment depth. Live (with Rose Bengal s...
