All foraminifera analyses (counts, stable isotopes and Mg/Ca) were done on the 150 and 250 μm fraction.Stable isotopes were measured using a MAT 252 coupled to a Kiel II device and Delta+ with gasbench at the Free University Amsterdam. The number of shells varied between 16 and 25.Mg/Ca were measured using a Varian Vista ICP-AES at Cambridge. Cleaning followed Barker et al. 2003 (doi:10.1029/2003GC000559). Approximately 50 shells were used for each sample.Grain size analyses were done using a Fritsch A22 laser diffraction particle sizer.
