These ratios fluctuate in a cyclic manner whose timing is in phase with glacial-interglacial fluctuations established by oxygen isotope geo-chronology. Glacial stages are characterized by less solution of foraminifera than interglacial stages. This content is PDF only. Please click on the PDF icon to access.
