Preferential Loss of High Trace Element Bearing Inner Calcite in Foraminifera During Physical and Chemical Cleaning

Abstract Trace elements (TEs) in the calcite shells of foraminifera are widely used in paleoceanographic reconstructions. Nearly all TE analytical protocols include cleaning to remove contaminant phases. Understanding, how the TE composition is altered during physical and chemical cleaning is of utm...
