Figure 4.7.<br />

Graph of carbonate factors for core KN25-4GPC.<br />

The pal eotemperature curve of Emi 1 i ani (1971)<br />

is on a linear time scale~ but the curves of<br />

core parameters represent depths in the core,<br />

and they are not adjusted to a time scale. The<br />

curve of relative surface productivity is derived<br />

from the carbonate and dissolution curves,<br />

using the assumptions that foraminiferal tests<br />

constitute 100% of the carbonate and that they<br />

were transported to the sediment by vertical<br />

settling with little or no horizontal transportation.<br />

The zonation (left) is based on the<br />

abundance of the Globorotalia menardii complex<br />

(see Chapter V).<br />
