Dating late Quaternary planktonic foraminifer Neogloboquadrina 
pachyderma from the Arctic Ocean using amino acid racemization. 
Paleoceanography, Vol. 23, PA3224, doi:10.1029/2008PA001618.

  <Summary>
    <Abstract>The long-term rate of racemization for amino acids preserved 
in planktonic foraminifera was determined by using independently 
dated sediment cores from the Arctic Ocean. The racemization rates 
for aspartic acid (Asp) and glutamic acid (Glu) in the common taxon, 
Neogloboquadrina pachyderma, were calibrated for the last 150 ka 
using 14C ages and the emerging Quaternary chronostratigraphy 
of Arctic Ocean sediments. An analysis of errors indicates realistic 
age uncertainties of about ±12% for Asp and ±17% for Glu. 
Fifty individual tests are sufficient to analyze multiple subsamples, 
identify outliers, and derive robust sample mean values. The new age 
equation can be applied to verify and refine age models for sediment 
cores elsewhere in the Arctic Ocean, a critical region for 
understanding the dynamics of global climate change. 
 
          STUDY NOTES: Amino acid racemization data on N. pachyderma samples from marine 
sediment cores in the central Arctic Ocean. D/L and concentration 
for aspartic acid, glutamic acid, and serine in Neogloboquadrina 
pachyderma from sediment cores from Lomonosove, Mendeleev, 
and Northwind ridges, central Arctic Ocean.
