Caption from Oceanus magazine, Vol. 40, No. 2, Pg. 13:
All biogenic particles arriving on the ocean floor carry a memory imprint of their growth environment. Fossil shells of foraminifera contain many clues to the past oceanic environment, including temperature and salinity information. The chart above left (not shown) shows the range of sea surface temperatures sampled by WHOI time series sediment traps around the world from less than ‑2°C to greater than 32°C. The world map (shown here) indicates the locations of these sediment traps.
