The evolution and palaeobiogeography of mesozoic planktonic foraminifera
… of Austria that were thought to be the earliest planktonic foraminifera. The first reactions of the palaeontological community were negative but in the subsequent forty years our knowledge of Jurassic planktonic foraminifera has expanded considerably. A thorough re-evaluation of the Oberhauser …

The influence of differential production and dissolution on the stable isotope composition of planktonic foraminifera
Planktonic foraminifera from plankton tows, sediment traps and sediments from the central North Atlantic were studied in order to understand how they acquire their oxygen and carbon isotope compositions. Shallow dwelling planktonic foraminifera (mostly spinose species), collected in plankton tows …

Planktonic foraminifera in the sea of Okhotsk : population and stable isotopic analysis from a sediment trap
The relationship of planktonic foraminiferal populations and stable isotopes to synoptic sea surface temperatures (SST's) was examined in the Sea of Okhotsk, using sediment trap samples (trap deployed Aug. '90 - Aug. '91; 53°19'N, 149°50'E) and AVHRR satellite sea surface temperature data. Synoptic …

Late Holocene Climatic Change: The little ice age and El Nino from planktonic foraminifera in sediments off walvis bay, South West Africa
… 1975, Dunbar 1983), these are the first downcore foraminiferal species records of the South West African deposit. The abundances of some of the minor species, most notably G. ruber, show very distinctive peaks at apparently random intervals. It is thought that these sudden and short-lived …

Seasonal and Annual Variability In Elemental and Isotopic Proxies of Past Ocean Conditions: Results From the Guaymas and Cariaco Basins
<p>The isotopic and trace element composition of planktonic foraminiferal shells are controlled by the chemical and physical proprieties of the ambient seawater and can be used to reconstruct past oceanic conditions. These proxies are quantitatively defined and validated by analyzing how the …
