Marit-Solveig Seidenkrantz and Karen Luise Knudsen have together with Anne E. Jennings from INSTAAR, USA, found and described a new benthic foraminiferal species. This species was found in the Nares Strait, northern Baffin Bay and on the shelf of NE Greenland. It seems to be indicative of a nearby marine-terminating glacier, which will make it…
![[Translate to English:] Modelled P-PINI burial ages for the six Deckenschotter sites in the Swiss Alpine Foreland (Gaussian probability distributions) after application of Bayesian inference modelling, using the morphostratigraphic constraint that the TDS site (Iberig) postdates the HDS sites. The thick black line overlying the coloured probability distributions shows the combined probability distribution for the five HDS sites (Tromsberg, Feusi, Siglistorf, Irchel Steig, and Irchel Hütz). The thin black line denotes the marine benthic 18O record, whereas the black/white bar at the bottom shows the palaeomagnetic polarity timescale. MPT denotes the Mid-Pleistocene Transition between 1.25 and 0.70 Ma, while the numbers 2, 6, 12, 16, 20, 22, and 24 denote marine isotope stages associated with prominent glacial periods.](typo3temp/_processed_/csm_Mads_F._figur_9_5dfbb3298a.png)
