  <Summary>
    <Abstract>Cool tropical sea surface temperatures (SSTs) are reported for warm Paleogene greenhouse climates based on the d18O of planktonic foraminiferal tests. These results are difficult to reconcile with models of greenhouse gas–forced climate. It has been suggested that this “cool tropics paradox” arises from postdepositional alteration of foraminiferal calcite, yielding erroneously high d18O values. Recrystallization of foraminiferal tests is cryptic and difficult to quantify, and the compilation of robust d18O records from moderately altered material remains challenging. Scanning electron microscopy of planktonic foraminiferal chamber-wall cross sections reveals that the basal area of muricae, pustular outgrowths on the chamber walls of species belonging to the genus Morozovella, contain no mural pores and may be less susceptible to postdepositional alteration. We analyzed the d18O in muricae bases of morozovellids from the central Pacific (Ocean Drilling Program Site 865) by ion microprobe using 10 µm pits with an analytical reproducibility of ±0.34‰ (2 standard deviations). In situ measurements of d18O in these domains yield consistently lower values than those published for conventional multispecimen analyses. Assuming that the original d18O is largely preserved in the basal areas of muricae, this new d18O record indicates Early Paleogene (~49–56 Ma) tropical SSTs in the central Pacific were 4°–8°C higher than inferred from the previously published d18O record and that SSTs reached at least ~33°C during the Paleocene-Eocene thermal maximum. This study demonstrates the utility of ion microprobe analysis for generating more reliable paleoclimate records from moderately altered foraminiferal tests preserved in deep-sea sediments. 
          STUDY NOTES: In situ oxygen isotope data were acquired between 2009 and 2011 in the WiscSIMS Laboratory at UW-Madison by a CAMECA ims-1280 large radius ion microprobe. A 133Cs+ primary ion beam with an intensity of ~1.8 nA was focused to a diameter of ~10 µm. The typical secondary 16O- ion intensity was 3.0 x 10^9 cps, and 18O- and 16O- ions were simultaneously collected by two Faraday Cup detectors. Charging of the sample surface was compensated by Au-coating and an electron flood gun. Grains of UWC-3 calcite standard (d18O = 12.49 per mill V-SMOW, Kozdon et al. 2009) were cast in the center of each epoxy mount. Four to five consecutive measurements of UWC-3 calcite standard were performed before and after every set of 9-15 sample analyses. The average precision (reproducibility) for a set of bracketing standard analyses is ±0.34 per mil (2 SD). Detailed analytical protocols are described by Kita et al. 2009. A total of 283 measurements were performed, including 95 bracketing standard analyses.</Abstract>
