the shell surface stria (profile P2) and surface disturbance mark (profile P3) contribute to the high Mg/Ca, Sr/Ca and Mn/Ca ratios observed in these regions as the result of
The boron concentration in the coral being proportional to the boron activity in the precipitating solu- tion (Kitano et al., 1978; Vengosh et al., 1991; Hemming and Hanson, 1992),
Using lithology, bulk sediment geochem- istry, benthic foraminifera and carbon stable isotopes we in- tend to reconstruct the various phases of this cold period; to identify its
As mentioned previously, increase in calcification rate with increased light conditions has been suggested to increase CO 2 concentration in the site of calcification (Al-Horani et
This is in contrast to the described incorporation of uranium into skeletons of tropical corals, where U / Ca ratios show a clear relationship to seawater temperature (Min et al.,
Similar warm conditions during Heinrich events and stadials are also evident from benthic faunas and Mg / Ca ratios in benthic foraminifera from the Nordic Seas, in- dicating
(Please note that we assumed a constant initial weight since foraminifera were inserted to the experiment at the same development stage, al- lowing a comparison of growth rates.
Culturing experiments show that the Mg incorporation into shells of Heterostegina depressa and Ammonia tepida de- creased with increasing calcium concentration and thereby
