ADABI, M. H., ZOHDI, A., GHABEISHAVI, A., and AMIRI-BAKHTIYAR, H. W., Surface and deep water changes in the northeast Indian Ocean during the last 60 ka inferred from carbon and oxygen isotopes of planktonic and benthic foraminifera. — Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology, v. 262, doi:10.1016/j.palaeo.2008.03.007, 2008, p. 182–188, 4 figures, 3 tables. — "Stable carbon and oxygen isotopic records of planktonic (Globigerinoides ruber) and benthic foraminifera (mostly Cibicidoides wuellerstorfi) from a deep-sea core in the northeast Indian Ocean are used to infer surface and deep water characteristics for the last ~ 60 kyr. The gravity core (SK-157-14) studied here was retrieved from the Ninetyeast Ridge (5°11'N; 90°05'E) at a water-depth of 3306 m. . .." (from Abstract).

The fossil occurrence of assemblages with abundant deformed specimens suggests that investigators should carefully look at many aspects of the environment before concluding that anthropogenic pollution is the only cause of deformations of living benthic foraminifera."
