Paleoceanographic changes in the Northeast Indian Ocean during middle Miocene inferred from carbon and oxygen isotopes of foraminiferal fossil shells
Description:
The middle Miocene transition witnessed rapid fluctuations in oceanographic and climatic systems. However, very limited work has been attempted in Miocene sediments of the Northern Indian Ocean to identify these changes. Here we present the first detailed δ13C and δ18O records of surface and deep dwelling foraminifera from ODP site 758 in the Northeast Indian Ocean, located atop the Ninetyeast Ridge.
