Figure 9. Relative abundances in percent for selected benthic foraminiferal species. Absolute abundance (per ~20 cm3 of sediment) of benthic foraminifers are given as A = abundant (>500 specimens); C = common (250-500 specimens); F = few (100-249 specimens); R = rare (50-99 specimens); T = trace (1-49 specimens); and B = barren (no specimens). Note that some samples are barren or contain very few specimens (Samples 175-1077A-9H-CC, 14H-CC, 16H-CC, and 19H-CC through 22H-CC) and that no reliable percentage estimates could be obtained.
