Encrustation and trace element composition of <i>Neogloboquadrina dutertrei</i> assessed from single chamber analyses – implications for paleotemperature estimates
Crust formation is a common phenomenon in planktonic foraminifera. Because of their different formation mechanism and hence composition, crusts affect the overall test composition and therefore complicate the use of crust-bearing foraminifera in paleoceanography. Such species are often used to estim...
