Dramatic decline and change in coiling direction of planktic foraminifer Morozovella at the Early Eocene Climatic Optimum (EECO; ~53-49 Ma) from the Pacific Ocean
Abstract:<p>Improved knowledge of the connection between striking variations in the abundance and coiling direction of the trochospiral planktic foraminiferal genus&#160;<em>Morozovella</em> and early Eocene carbon-cycle changes, is presented in this study as deriving from new data recorded from the Pacific Ocean (Shatsky Rise, Ocean Drilling Program Sites 1209, 1210). This location spans the Early Eocene Climatic Optimum (EECO; ~53-49 Ma), the interval when Earth surfa… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
