Global prediction of planktic foraminiferal fluxes from hydrographic and productivity data
Understanding and quantifying the seasonal and spatial distribution of planktic foraminiferal fluxes reflected in sedimentary assemblages is key to interpret foraminiferabased proxies in paleoceanography. Towards this goal we present an empirical model to predict foraminiferal fluxes on a global scale. A compilation of planktic foraminiferal flux and export production data from globally distrib...
متن کاملUpper Cretaceous planktic foraminiferal from the Zagros basin (north-northwest Shiraz), Iran
The litho-and biostratigraphy of Upper Cretaceous (Gurpi Formation) has been investigated within a well-exposed section at the northern limb of Pey zard anticline, Abnow area, Southern Iran. The studied section consists mainly of grey marl, calcareous pyritic shale, and argillaceous limestones. The Formation unconformably overlies Sarvak Formation and the Tarbur Formation overlies it unconforma...
متن کاملMicrostructural and geochemical perspectives on planktic foraminiferal preservation: Glassy versus Frosty
[1] In recent years it has become apparent that the ‘‘cool tropic paradox’’ of Paleogene and Cretaceous ‘‘greenhouse’’ climates arises because of the diagenetic alteration of tropical planktic foraminiferal calcite near the seafloor, yielding artificially high dO values. Because the Mg/Ca compositions of foraminiferal and inorganic calcite are thought to be quite different, Mg/Ca measurements s...
متن کاملAssessing the impact of diagenesis on dB, dC, dO, Sr/Ca and B/Ca values in fossil planktic foraminiferal calcite
The geochemical composition of foraminiferal tests is a valuable archive for the reconstruction of paleo-climatic, -oceanographic and -ecological changes. However, dissolution of biogenic calcite and precipitation of inorganic calcite (overgrowth and recrystallization) at the seafloor and in the sediment column can potentially alter the original geochemical composition of the foraminiferal test...
متن کاملSeeking a better life in the plankton.
F oraminifers are single-celled, testate protists with a rich geologic record spanning at least 500 million years of Earth’s most recent history. Their abundance, diversity, and diagnostic distribution patterns make them very useful to Earth scientists for purposes of relative age determination, correlation from one locality to another, and paleoenvironmental reconstructions. Benthic foraminife...
