Laser-ablation inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry microanalyses of Mg/Ca across individual final chambers of three planktonic foraminifera species, Globigerinoides ruber, G. sacculifer, and Pulleniatina obliquiloculata, reveal significant interspecies differences in test Mg concentrations. Whereas these three species have similar Mg/Ca values at low sea surface temperatures (similar to 22 degrees C), they diverge markedly at high sea surface temperatures (similar to 29 degrees C). Explanations for these differences in species Mg/Ca values based on detailed comparison of species intratest Mg/Ca distributions suggest that compositional variability within tests cannot account for the observed deviation of species Mg/Ca values in warm-water... |
