A) Texture of test surface of Turborotalita quinqueloba at three different depth intervals; 0–50 m, 100–150 m and 200–300 m. B) Variation in inner and outer shell density of T . quinqueloba as mean CT number of entire shell measured by XMCT increases. C) Mean CT number of T . quinqueloba (n = 115), with error bars, plotted against water depth. D) Calcite saturation at sampling site plotted against water depth. E) T . quinqueloba cross-section before and after assumed gametogenesis. Scale bars measure 100 μm.
