Impact of seawater [Ca<sup>2+</sup>] on the calcification and calciteMg / Ca of <i>Amphistegina lessonii</i>
Mg / Ca ratios in foraminiferal tests are routinely used as paleotemperature proxies, but on long timescales, they also hold the potential to reconstruct past seawater Mg / Ca. The impact of both temperature and seawater Mg / Ca on Mg incorporation in Foraminifera has been quantified by a number of...
