Abstract: Abstract The final ~50 ky of the Maastrichtian leading up to the Cretaceous-Paleogene (K-Pg) boundary mass extinction at Bidart (France) and Gamsbach (Austria) record poor carbonate preservation indicative of ocean acidification preceding the mass extinction.… read more here.

Abstract: Understanding the sensitivity of species-level responses to long-term warming will become increasingly important as we look towards a warmer future. Here, we examine photosymbiont associations in planktic foraminifera at Shatsky Rise (ODP Site 1209, Pacific… read more here.

DOI: 10.7306/gq.1363
Abstract: This paper describes results of an experiment aimed mainly at obtaining random thin-sections of isolated specimens of planktic foraminifera determined to a species level. Twenty species of uppermost Paleocene-Middle Eocene planktic foraminifera from pelagic variegated… read more here.
