Cenozoic Mg/Ca ratios in benthic foraminiferal calcite with BWT and sea ice volume reconstruction

A deep-sea temperature record for the past 50 million years has been produced from the magnesium/calcium ratio (Mg/Ca) in benthic foraminiferal calcite. The record is strikingly similar in form to the corresponding benthic oxygen isotope (δ18O) record and defines an overall cooling of about 12°C in...
