Time series data on fluxes, average weight, and isotopic compilation of perennially abundant plantonic foraminifera of the Sargasso sea, near Bermuda, North Atlantic. Thirty one sediment trap deployments at 3200-m and 1000-m above the sea floor from April 1978 to May 1984. Forms described are Globigerinoides ruber, Globigerinella aequilateralis, and Orbulina universa. These data were collected by Dr. W. G.
