Fossil remnants of benthic foraminifera consist of carbonate tests and their organic linings. The macromolecular and stable isotopic composition of these benthic foraminiferal organic linings was characterized to evaluate their potential use as paleoclimate proxies. Using Curie point pyrolysis–GC–MS (Py–GC–MS) we show that benthic foraminiferal organic linings consist of protein and polysaccharides, bound together in a complex macromolecular structure.  ...... <BR/>

'''Highlights'''
 +
•The organic linings of benthic foraminifera consist of complex mixture of polysaccharide and protein based macromolecules.
 +
•The stable carbon isotopic composition of foraminiferal linings reflects the foraminiferal food source.
 +
•The oxygen isotopic composition of the linings potentially allows reconstructing seawater oxygen isotopes.
