Figure 1. Climate proxy data from Cariaco Basin core PL07-39PC (10°42.00'N, 64°56. 50'W, 790 m). The Mg/Ca record is from planktonic foraminifera G. ruber, white variety, with the pink variety analyzed when sample abundances were limited. Each point is the average of one to five replicates; the pooled SD of all replicate analyses (df = 155) was ±0.16 mmom/mol (±4%). Oxygen isotope data are from G. ruber, white variety. Sedimentary grayscale data are from Hughen et al. 1998. The gap between 165 and 192 cm is due to a turbidite. Core PL07-39PC has nearly continuous laminations from 0 to 630 cm; the transition to bioturbated sediments occurs at the B�lling transition. |
