Benthic foraminifera census data of sediment core GeoTü KL23

The data set contains census counts of deep-sea benthic foraminifera from the interval 695-761 cm depth of sediment core GeoTü KL23. Given are counted individuals of benthic foraminiferal taxa versus sediment depth in cm below sea floor. The counts are based on representative splits of the size fraction >125 µm. The counting was performed in 2026. Piston core GeoTü KL23 was retrieved during R.V. METEOR cruise M31/2 in 1995 (Hemleben et al., 1996) from the bathyal northern Red Sea, at 25°44.9'N, 35°03.3'E, 702 m water depth, core recovery 22.10 m. The sediment core was retrieved for the reconstruction of oceanographic changes in the northern Red Sea during the late Quaternary.
