Stable carbon and oxygen isotope record of planktonic foraminifera of ODP Hole 115-709C

A closely spaced (5-cm interval) oxygen isotope stratigraphy of planktonic foraminifers from Hole 709C was completed for most of the Pliocene and lowermost Pleistocene (around 4.6-1.4 Ma). This will contribute data to the future testing of the Matthews and Poore model of 1980, in which it was assumed that low-latitude sea-surface temperature has remained virtually constant as global climate evolved.
