The variability of Mg/Ca between chambers of an individual (intraindividual) and individuals of the same population (interindividual), is such that when converted to temperature, the extent of intra-individual and interindividual variability appears to exceed that attributable to either calcification or seasonal temperature variability. The pooled mean chamber Mg/Ca from each core top and plankton tow site demonstrates a significant (p < 0.05) positive correlation with temperature. We derive chamber-specific calibrations where Mg/Ca (sub Ch_F-2) = 0.798 exp (super 0.070 T) , Mg/Ca (sub Ch_F-1) = 0.891 exp (super 0.067 T) and Mg/Ca (sub Ch_F) = 0.590 exp (super 0.072 T) . We do not observe any bias between the two morphotypes Gs. ruber ruber and Gs. ruber pyramidalis. The chamber-specific calibrations potentially offset Mg/Ca-based temperature reconstructions if used on bulk (whole) test Mg/Ca or applied to misidentified chambers. Nevertheless, these calibrations can be used to reliably estimate sea surface temperature. Although there is a general overriding temperature control on Mg/Ca, we show that removal of the effect of temperature at each site reveals a lognormal Mg/Ca distribution. This suggests that Mg/Ca variability at each site is also affected by biological mechanism(s) that may control the distribution of interindividual Mg/Ca. In addition, other TE/Ca data (Al/Ca and Mn/Ca) from laser ablation trace element depth profiles can be used to identify detrital or diagenetic phases that may bias the trace element/Ca signal.completedGeneral geochemistryInvertebrate paleontologyalkaline earth metalscalcitecalciumcarbonatesChatham RisecoresForaminiferageochemical methodsICP mass spectrainductively coupled plasma methodsInvertebratalaser ablationlaser methodsLeg 181magnesiummarine sedimentsmass spectrametalsMg/CamodernOcean Drilling ProgramODP Site 1123Pacific OceanpaleotemperaturepreservationProtistareconstructionsea-surface temperaturesedimentsSEM datashellssolutionSouth PacificSouthwest Pacificspectraspectroscopyteststrace elementsvariationsWest Pacificurn:org.iodp:exp:181urnlargerWorkCitationcampaignurn:org.iodp:exp:181:site:1123urnlargerWorkCitationstudyurn:org.iodp:exp:181urnlargerWorkCitationcampaignEnglishgeoscientificInformation-171.2956-171.2956-41.4710-41.4710
