Figure F15. Paleogene stable isotope results for foraminifers from Site 1209 in the subtropical Pacific and Site 865 in the equatorial Pacific (Bralower et al., 1995) plotted relative to age using the nannofossil stratigraphies of Bralower (this volume) and Bralower and Mutterlose (1995), respectively, relative to the Berggren et al. (1995) timescale. Open squares = surface planktonic Mg/Ca data at Site 865 (Tripati et al., 2003); open circles = surface planktonics; crosses = Subbotina spp.; solid circles = benthics. Paleotemperature scales are calculated using the equation of Erez and Luz (1983) with dw of deep water =
D = –0.98
, and dw of surface water =
S = –0.1
. SAL = salinity event, HTM = hyperthermal event, PETM = Paleocene/Eocene Thermal Maximum event (from Dutton et al., 2005; Dutton et al., this volume).
