# Description & Notes:
#   Caribbean Foraminiferal Mg/Ca, d18OCalcite, and Paleosalinity.
#   Authors combine Mg/Ca paleothermometry with d18Ocalcite measurements on the planktic
#   foraminifera Globigerinoides ruber from two Caribbean cores and reconstruct d18Oseawater
#   variation (a proxy for salinity) during the last glacial cycle. We demonstrate
#   that Caribbean surface d18OSW oscillated between more positive values (saltier)
#   conditions during cold oxygen isotope stages (OIS) 2, 4, and 6 and modern values
#   during warm OIS 3 and 5.
