Figure 2: REE patterns of waters and marine carbonates.
From: Obliquity pacing of the western Pacific Intertropical Convergence Zone over the past 282,000 years
(a) Averaged MD05-2925 G. ruber data with temporal variability range over the past 282 kyr in this study (grey area). (b) PNG river17. (c) PNG coastal seawater (depth of 40 m at station EUC-Fe 27 from ref. 27, hollow diamonds) and open-ocean surface seawater of the Coral Sea in the southwest Pacific (depth of 0–200 m at station SA-7 from ref. 25, black diamonds). Comparison of REE patterns from (d) MD05-2925 G. ruber in this study (blue circles), (e) PNG coastal coral29 (green triangles), (f) East Pacific core-top planktonic foraminifera G. sacculifer (site 54MC of ref. 23; hollow circles), and (g) GBR coral24 (hollow triangles). Site locations are plotted in Fig. 1 and Supplementary Fig. 1. Arrows depict the trend of the REE patterns. The REEs are shale normalized26.
