| + | Their ubiquitous distribution and common occurrence in marine sediments make planktonic foraminiferal tests an ideal archive of past physical conditions of the upper oceans. However, their tests are prone to dissolution, especially in the deep sea. Their species-dependent removal from sediments is well-recorded, and is exhibited by the absence of some species after complete test disintegration, while others still remain. In order to further understand the dissolution process of planktonic foraminiferal calcite, we treated tests of ''Globorotalia cult rata'', ''Globigerinoides ruber'', and ''Neogloboquadrina dutertrei'' (315–355 μm intermediate diameter) with a weak buffered acetic acid. ...... | ||
