Other constraints

Either: (i) the dataset is made freely available, e.g. via the Internet, for a restricted category of use (e.g. educational use only); or (ii) the dataset has not been formally approved by BGS for access and use by external clients under licence, but its use may be permitted under alternative formal arrangements; or (iii) the dataset contains 3rd party data or information obtained by BGS under terms and conditions that must be consulted in order to determine the permitted usage of the dataset. Refer to the BGS staff member responsible for the creation of the dataset if further advice is required. He / she should be familiar with the composition of the dataset, particularly with regard to 3rd party IPR contained in it, and any resultant use restrictions. This staff member should revert to the IPR Section ( ipr@bgs.ac.uk ) for advice, should the position not be clear.

Statement

Pre-treatment of the foraminifera specimens followed the approach by Nadeau et al. (2001). Sample was transferred into a septum sealed vial. Then 200 microlitre of a 15% hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) solution was added and the tube placed in an ultra-sonic bath for ~3min to remove organic surface contaminants and to provide a mild leach of the foraminifera material. Subsequently, hydrogen peroxide was decanted using a fine syringe and rinsed repeatedly in Milli-Q water. While still damp the samples were evacuated and 1 ml of 85% phosphoric acid was added to hydrolyse the samples to CO2 at 70°C until complete dissolution. Samples were then converted into graphite on a Fe catalyst using the hydrogen reduction method (Vogel et al., 1987) for AMS analysis at the Queens University Belfast AMS facility.
