Relationships between bottom water carbonate saturation and element/Ca ratios in coretop samples of the benthic foraminifera <i>Oridorsalis umbonatus</i>

Elemental ratios in benthic foraminifera have been used to reconstruct bottom water temperature and carbonate saturation (&Delta;[CO<sub>3</sub><sup>2&minus;</sup>]). We present elemental data for the long-ranging benthic foraminifera <i>Oridorsalis umbonatus<...
