Summary
Abstract: [abstract from data documentation]

Magnesium/calcium ratios in benthic foraminifera (Cibicidoides
pachyderma) from a sediment core on the Laurentian Slope (1854 m)
exhibit strong millennial-scale fluctuations during the past 4000
years. We convert these data to seawater paleotemperatures using a new
monospecific linear equation. Results suggest that the temperature of
upper North Atlantic Deep ... View entire text
