(Table 14) Ranges of benthic foraminifers through the Neogene in ODP Hole 115-714B@en

Benthic foraminifers were counted according to the following scheme: 1 = present, 2 = 2 or more, 3 = 3-5, 4 = 5-10, 6 = 10-30, 7 = 30-50, 8 = 50-75, and 9 = 75-150. Because benthic foraminifers are not common in most samples, in many instances the numbers represent their true abundance in a sample. Only the bolivinids reached abundances of 6 or greater.底栖有孔虫（Benthic foraminifers）按照以下分级方案开展计数：1代表类群存在，2代表个体数≥2，3对应3~5个个体，4对应5~10个个体，6对应10~30个个体，7对应30~50个个体，8对应50~75个个体，9对应75~150个个体。由于多数样品中底栖有孔虫较为稀少，因此多数情况下该分级数值可反映样品内其真实丰度。仅双列虫类（bolivinids）的丰度可达到6及以上。
