Benthic stable isotopes of sediment core M94-482 PC

Proxy parameter of core M94-482 PC: Benthic stable isotopes of sediment core M94-482 PC. Isotope analyses were performed on the benthic foraminiferal species Uvigerina peregrina. Sedimentological and logging data as well as the foraminiferal analyses were performed on piston core M94-482 PC, which was recovered from the northern Campeche Bank (Gulf of Mexico; 23°49.155'N 87°07.752'W) from 630 m water depth during R/V Meteor Cruise M94 in 2013 (https://doi.org/10.2312/cr_m94). Sampling and analytical studies were carried out from ~0.5 cm to 879 cm core depth at 1-5 cm spatial resolution. The records cover the last ~288 kyrs. The stable carbon (δ13C; ‰ VPDB) and oxygen isotope (δ18O, ‰ VPDB) analyses were performed on a Thermo Scientific MAT 253 mass spectrometer with an automated Kiel IV Carbonate Preparation Device. The isotope data provide stratigraphical information.
