In the Esmeraldas section,an abrupt cooling of the sea-water temperature is recognized between 3.35 and 3.95 Ma, inwhich Neogloboquadrina spp. and intermediate water dwellers increase in abundance. In the sectionoff Costa Rica, the sea-water temperature declined just before 4.2 Ma, when planktonic foraminiferabecome absent, but increased afterwards as evidenced by abundant occurrences in Zone N22 tothe Recent.
