Ecological controls on the shell geochemistry of pink and white Globigerinoides ruber in the northern Gulf of Mexico: Implications for paleoceanographic …

JN Richey, RZ Poore, BP Flower, DJ Hollander - Marine Micropaleontology, 2012 - Elsevier
We evaluate the relationship between foraminiferal test size and shell geochemistry (δ13C,
δ18O, and Mg/Ca) for two of the most commonly used planktonic foraminifers for
paleoceanographic reconstruction in the subtropical Atlantic Ocean: the pink and white
varieties of Globigerinoides ruber. Geochemical analyses were performed on foraminifera
from modern core-top samples of high-accumulation rate basins in the northern Gulf of
Mexico. Mg/Ca analysis indicates a positive relationship with test size, increasing by 1.1 …
