Abstract

All diatoms in the analysed section were extensively affected by dissolution with only c. 1% of valves in a “pristine” condition. Diatom concentrations were generally extremely low throughout MIS 3 and across the MIS 3/2 transition with samples containing a mixture of extant and extinct species (Fig. 4).
