Exploring the controls on element ratios in middle Eocene samples of the benthic foraminifera <i>Oridorsalis umbonatus</i>
Culturing studies and empirically based core top calibrations have been used to infer that elemental ratios in benthic foraminifera can be used as proxies to reconstruct past variations in bottom water temperature and saturation state (Δ [CO<sub>3</sub><sup>2−&l...
