| contents | Differential dissolution affects the isotopic composition of different species of planktonic foraminifera in different ways. In the two species studied here in cores from Ontong Java Plateau, the less resistant species, Globigerinoides sacculifer, is more readily affected at a shallower depth than the more resistant species, Pulleniatina obliquiloculata (2.9 versus 3.4 km), but shows a smaller and less predictable response to partial dissolution (0.2 to 0.3 per mil versus 0.6 to 0.7 per mil). Comparison of isotopic values from the last glacial period with those from the late Holocene indicates that the apparent dissolution effect is considerably reduced during the last glacial, presumably due to reduced dissolution intensity during glacial time. A change in the level of the lysocline of about 400 m is suggested. In the published isotope records from Pacific cores V28-238 and V28-239, the dissolution-generated difference in delta18O (noted previously by Shackleton and Opdyke [1976]) is seen to describe a mid-Brunhes dissolution maximum, between 300 and 500 thousand years ago. This mid-Brunhes dissolution excursion is well known from the Pacific and the Indian Ocean. |
