Abstract:The results of a multi-proxy study, including quantitative planktonic foraminifera faunal analysis, geochemistry of foraminifera tests, and lithogenic counts (IRD)
Highlights: Major oceanographic/climatologic event at the Late Messinian TG12/TG11 transition. Potential for a pre-Quaternary seesaw mechanism. Location of the ice-sheet capable of producing a large deglaciation to be identified.
