This deepening has previously been interpreted to reflect increased alkalinity supply to the ocean driven by enhanced continental weathering due to the Himalayan orogeny during the late Neogene period. Here we examine mass accumulation rates of the main marine calcifying groups and show that global accumulation of pelagic carbonates has decreased from the late Miocene epoch to the late Pleistocene epoch even though CaCO3 preservation has improved, suggesting a decrease in weathering alkalinity input to the ocean, thus opposing expectations from the Himalayan uplift hypothesis. Instead, changes in relative contributions of coccoliths and planktonic foraminifera to the pelagic carbonates in relative shallow sites, where dissolution has not taken its toll, suggest that coccolith production in the euphotic zone decreased concomitantly with the reduction in weathering alkalinity inputs as registered by the decline in pelagic carbonate accumulation. Our work highlights a mechanism whereby, in addition to deep-sea dissolution, changes in marine calcification acted to modulate carbonate compensation in response to reduced weathering linked to the late Neogene cooling and decline in atmospheric partial pressure of carbon dioxide. # #------------------ # Funding_Agency # Funding_Agency_Name: NSF # Grant: OCE 634573 #------------------ # Site_Information # Site_Name: ODP 928 # Location: North Pacific Ocean # Northernmost_Latitude: 5.455333 # Southernmost_Latitude: 5.455333 # Easternmost_Longitude: -43.748067 # Westernmost_Longitude: -43.748067 # Elevation: -4022 #------------------ # Data_Collection # Collection_Name: ODP928 Bulk, Carbonate, and foram MAR Si2019 # Earliest_Year: 14750000 # Most_Recent_Year: 20000 # Time_Unit: calyrBP #------------------ # Chronology_Information # Chronology: #--------------------------------------- # Variables # Data variables follow that are preceded by "##" in columns one and two. # Variables list, one per line, shortname-tab-longname components (9 components: what, material, error, units, seasonality, archive, detail, method, C or N for Character or Numeric data) ## depth_m depth,,,meter,,paleoceanography,,,N, ## age_Ma age,,,million years ago,,paleoceanography,,,N, ## bulk_wgt weight,dry sediment,,gram,,paleoceanography,,,N,dry bulk weight ## wgt>20um weight,dry sediment,,gram,,paleoceanography,,,N,Dry weight in >20 um size fraction ## wgt>60um weight,dry sediment,,gram,,paleoceanography,,,N,Dry weight in >60 um size fraction ## MAR_foram accumulation rate,foraminifer,,gram per square centimeter per kiloyear,,paleoceanography,,,N,mass accumulation rate ## size_index grain size class,dry sediment,, ,,paleoceanography,,,N,size index (>20um/>60um) # #---------------- # Data: # Data lines follow (have no #) # Data line format - tab-delimited text, variable short name as header # Missing_Values: NA depth_m age_Ma bulk_wgt wgt>20um wgt>60um MAR_foram size_index 0.66 0.02 12.80 0.65 0.53 0.11 0.82 1.08 0.03 9.65 0.57 0.49 0.13 0.86 9.36 0.26 7.75 0.58 0.49 0.16 0.85 23.62 0.69 14.11 0.56 0.41 0.10 0.73 32.10 0.99 9.05 1.31 1.20 0.37 0.92 42.01 1.27 13.07 0.19 0.14 0.04 0.75 52.46 1.64 14.04 2.12 1.80 0.44 0.85 62.73 2.01 12.30 1.26 1.01 0.30 0.80 72.95 2.30 16.25 2.63 1.89 0.50 0.72 82.97 2.61 12.00 2.45 2.13 0.71 0.87 92.72 2.91 14.46 2.37 1.99 0.57 0.84 103.92 3.30 12.89 2.13 1.81 0.47 0.85 113.91 3.63 13.95 3.55 3.03 0.65 0.85 124.22 4.02 20.00 3.17 2.62 0.43 0.83 133.41 4.42 16.80 2.03 1.68 0.33 0.83 147.00 5.05 13.86 1.31 1.07 0.17 0.82 157.30 5.71 15.36 0.08 0.04 0.01 0.46 168.47 6.59 15.11 0.22 0.11 0.01 0.52 171.47 6.99 9.56 0.17 0.08 0.02 0.47 180.01 8.07 17.78 0.71 0.46 0.05 0.65 183.01 8.41 11.40 0.09 NA 0.01 NA 189.33 9.32 15.73 3.96 3.11 0.26 0.79 192.33 9.70 9.18 1.12 0.69 0.14 0.62 199.99 10.40 26.20 0.97 0.59 0.06 0.61 203.02 10.56 8.66 1.56 0.98 0.26 0.63 208.55 11.11 10.67 0.22 NA 0.02 NA 210.05 11.32 18.35 0.05 0.03 0.00 0.52 213.05 11.63 7.95 0.06 0.03 0.01 0.50 219.12 12.37 24.42 0.14 0.08 0.01 0.57 220.86 12.58 13.08 0.05 NA 0.00 NA 229.02 13.57 16.08 0.03 0.02 0.00 0.65 232.05 13.94 7.37 0.04 NA 0.01 NA 238.73 14.75 14.33 3.28 2.42 0.25 0.74
