Note: * = August 1999 samples were processed wet to maintain faunal preservation. Samples from 1996 were processed dry. † = since these data were generated to determine carbonate dissolution, a full and complete count of agglutinated foraminifers was not done. The number of agglutinated foraminifers represents minimum values.
