Statement

Planktonic foraminifers were examined from core catcher samples and 3 additional samples per core from a minimum of one hole at most sites except for the high-sedimentation Sites U1484 and U1485, where only core catcher samples were examined. Sample volumes of 10 or 20 cm3 were washed over 150 and 63 µm sieves, and then the two separated size fractions were dried on a hot plate at 40°C. Dried residues (>150 and 63–150 µm fractions) were transferred to labeled glass vials from which subsamples were examined on metal trays using binocular Zeiss Discovery V8 stereomicroscopes. Most shipboard work focused on the >150 µm size fraction for biostratigraphic purposes, but the 63–150 µm fraction was also examined for marker species and to assess fragmentation and scan for the smaller species Rosenthal et al., 2018.
