Statement

Samples for foraminiferal analysis were wet sieved to remove the < 63 ?m sediment fractions . After sieving, samples were oven dried (60 °C for 24 hours) before further sieving to remove any gravel (i.e., > 4 mm) and residual mud. A 1 cm3 split was obtained from the retained sediment fractions (i.e., between 63 ?m and 4 mm) from each sample using a riffle splitter. Foraminiferal assemblages were characterised for each sample split by counting and identifying a total of 300 tests, creating a multivariate dataset containing 66 samples and over 19,000 individual specimens.
