Paleoceanography and Paleoclimatology, Volume 40, Issue 4, April 2025.
Abstract The calcite tests of foraminifera used for reconstructions of past oceanic and climatic conditions are altered after deposition in pelagic sediments by recrystallisation but this process remains poorly understood. To investigate the controls and impacts of recrystallisation we compare laser ablation (LA‐) ICP‐MS‐derived Mg/Ca and Sr/Ca ratio ...
