Abstract
Estimates of paleotemperatures, based upon paleoecological analysis of planktonic foraminiferal thanatocoenoses of three piston cores from Tongue of the Ocean, Bahamas, indicate a maximum mean variation between Late Pleistocene glacial and nonglacial stages of 3.6°C. The data also indicate that the Early Wisconsin glacial stage was 0.7°C warmer than the Late Wisconsin glacial stage.Keywords
