Absolute abundance (per ~20 cm3 of sediment) of benthic foraminifers are given as follows: 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 175-1081A-9H-CC, 11H-CC through 13H-CC, 15H-CC, 17X-CC, 21X-CC, 22X-CC, 24X-CC, 28X-CC, 34X-CC, 35X-CC, 38X-CC, 40X-CC, 44X-CC, and 49X-CC), and that no reliable percentage estimates could be obtained.
