Early diagenetic overprint in Caribbean sediment cores and its effect on the geochemical composition of planktonic foraminifera

Early diagenetic features are noticed in the vicinity of carbonate platforms. Planktonic foraminifera of two tropical Atlantic deep-sea sediment cores show the strict relation between micro-scale euhydral crystallites of inorganic precipitates, higher oxygen isotope values and Mg/Ca ratios, and lowe...
