In both the North Atlantic Ocean and the Equatorial Pacific Ocean, the temperature fluctuations were severe, the amplitude of fluctuations goes from 3.5 to 5.5 degrees C, and the temperature is lower than at present in both areas. In the Late Pliocene, on the whole, the paleotemperature was higher than that in the Pleistocene.completedQuaternary geologyassemblagesAtlantic OceanCenozoiccoresEquatorial Pacificfaunal studiesfluctuationsForaminiferaInvertebrataLeg 130Leg 157marine sedimentsmicrofossilsNeogeneOcean Drilling ProgramODP Site 806ODP Site 953Pacific OceanpaleoecologypaleotemperaturePleistocenePlioceneProtistaQuaternarysea-surface temperaturesedimentssubtropical environmentTertiarytropical environmenturn:org.iodp:exp:130urnlargerWorkCitationcampaignurn:org.iodp:exp:157urnlargerWorkCitationcampaignurn:org.iodp:exp:130:site:806urnlargerWorkCitationstudyurn:org.iodp:exp:130urnlargerWorkCitationcampaignurn:org.iodp:exp:157:site:953urnlargerWorkCitationstudyurn:org.iodp:exp:157urnlargerWorkCitationcampaignEnglishgeoscientificInformation-80.0000159.2142-60.000075.0000Atlantic Ocean
