“…The incorporation of Sr into foraminiferal calcite may also show temperature dependence Reichart et al, 2003;Mortyn et al, 2005). However other parameters might also be involved in the control of foraminiferal Mg/Ca and Sr/Ca ratios namely pressure (Elderfield et al, 1996), calcite saturation (Lea, 1999), carbonate ion concentration ([CO 3 2− ]) (Mortyn et al, 2005;Rosenthal et al, 2006;Hendry et al, 2009), ontogeny (Ni et al, 2007) and growth rate (Kısakürek et al, 2008). Accurate temperature reconstructions, therefore, rely on an understanding of these additional factors that can potentially influence the incorporation of Mg and Sr in foraminiferal calcite.…”
