Figure F5. Cenozoic deep-sea stable isotope record based on a compilation of benthic foraminifer data from several dozen pelagic cores (modified from Zachos et al., 2001). The oxygen isotope record primarily reflects on changes in deepwater temperature and ice volume. Mi-1 and Oi-1 represent transient large-scale glaciations of Antarctica.
