Evaluation of two genera of benthic foraminifera for down-core paleotemperature studies in the western south atlantic

In this study we have compared the oxygen isotopic composition of two genera of benthic foraminifera (Uvigerina and Cibicidoides) from core-top samples with modern oxygen isotopic composition of seawater (delta18O). Based on a new relationship between delta18O and salinity for the mid-latitude weste...
