Abstract:
Mg/Ca and d18O data for four species of planktic foraminifera (G. ruber (white), G. sacculifer (without sac), N. dutertrei, and P. obliquiloculata) from core top sediments from the tropical Pacific, Atlantic, and western Indian Ocean. Deepwater calcite saturation values (Delta[CO3**2-]) at the sites range from 55 to -23 µmol/kg.
