Burial-induced oxygen-isotope re-equilibration of fossil foraminifera explains ocean paleotemperature paradoxes
The oxygen-isotope composition of fossil foraminifera tests is an established proxy for ocean paleotemperatures. Here, the authors show that isotope re-equilibration can occur during sediment burial without structural modification of the tests and cause a substantial overestimation of ocean paleotem...
