Amino acid racemization in mono-specific foraminifera from Quaternary deep-sea sediments

Amino acid racemization in mono-specific foraminifera from Quaternary deep-sea sediments

The deep-sea environment is among the most stable on Earth, making it well suited for amino acid geochronology. Foraminifera with calcareous tests are distributed across the World Ocean and are often recovered in sufficient abundance from sediment cores to derive robust mean amino acid D/L values of...
