Brief description

A gravity core (GC10) was collected from a depth of 335 mbsl within the Capricorn Channel, southern Great Barrier Reef (GBR). The data from stable isotopes of Globigerinoides ruber were analysed to allow a preliminary understanding of the hemipelagic sedimentary environment over the last glacial / interglacial cycle. The results suggest that the core reaches the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) at ~130cm depth, corresponding to isotopically heavier 18O. The 13C appears to lag the 18O signal with the minimums just proceeding the glacial maximums in the 18O.

Statement: Samples for foraminifera picking were dried in the oven at 60oC before being re-soaked in distilled water. Samples were then wet sieved through a series of four mesh sizes before the size fractions were transferred to drying trays. After drying, foraminifera were picked from under microscope for the large size fractions of >300 µm and >400µm. 10-15 white Gs. ruber were hand picked to give a total sample weight of 180-220µg for isotope analysis. The samples were washed in methanol and ultrasonicated for 30 secs to remove any surface and internal particles. The samples were analysed at the Research School of Earth Science, Australian National University, using an automated individual carbonate reaction (Kiel) device coupled with a Finnigan MAT-251 mass spectrometer.
Statement: Both 18-O and 13-C values are provided for 3cm, 5cm, 10cm, 15cm, 20cm and then every 10cm down the core to a depth of 450cm. Mass spectrometer was run concurrently with international standards NBS-19 and NBS-18, and has a very small analytical error.

Parameters: Depth in core (cm), oxygen-18 G. ruber (parts per thousand), carbon-13 G. ruber (parts per thousand).
