Data sets

Age model tie points and micropalaeontological data for International Ocean Discovery Program Hole U1488A, southern part of the Eauripik Rise, Pacific Ocean Paul N. Pearson https://doi.org/10.5285/14fb1745-00ed-4a0d-922b-d2c94157d17f

Short summary

Planktonic foraminifera are marine plankton that have a long and continuous fossil record. They are used for correlating and dating ocean sediments and studying evolution and past climates. This paper presents new information about Pulleniatina, one of the most widespread and abundant groups, from an important site in the Pacific Ocean. It also brings together a very large amount of information on the fossil record from other sites globally.
