Using Element/Ca Response to Cleaning in Foraminifera From Endmember Depositional Environments to Infer Contaminants and Inform Pretreatment

Using Element/Ca Response to Cleaning in Foraminifera From Endmember Depositional Environments to Infer Contaminants and Inform Pretreatment

Abstract Past ocean conditions are often reconstructed using the elemental composition of foraminiferal calcite. However, foraminiferal remains are often impacted by post‐depositional contaminants; thus, they require cleaning prior to element/Ca (El/Ca) analysis. To explore the impact of sample pret...
