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

Planktonic foraminifers were examined from core catcher (CC) samples and selected samples taken from within split cores. Planktonic foraminifers were also examined from mudline samples from the top of selected holes. Mudline samples were stained with Rose Bengal to highlight living cells. Sample volumes of approximately 10 or 20 cm3 were washed over 63 ?m sieves. Harder samples were dried at ~40oC overnight before washing in a sediment shaker. Very hard samples were treated with dilute peroxide and/or detergent and some were disaggregated with mortar and pestle. Empty sieves were cleaned in an ultrasonic bath to minimize cross-contamination between samples. Dried residues (>63 ?m) were transferred to labelled glass vials, from which subsamples were examined on metal trays using a binocular stereomicroscope.
