Relationship between isotopic composition (Δ18O and Δ13C) and plaktonic foraminifera test size in core tops from the Brazilian Continental Margin

Relationship between isotopic composition (Δ18O and Δ13C) and plaktonic foraminifera test size in core tops from the Brazilian Continental Margin

Stable oxygen (δ18O) and carbon (δ13C) isotopic signature registered in fossil planktonic foraminifera tests are widely used to reconstruct ancient oceanographic conditions. Test size is a major source of stable isotope variability in planktonic foraminifera found in sediment sampl...
