Figure F61. Middle Eocene climate optimum (MECO), Hole U1408A. Significant changes in calcareous nannofossil taxa are associated with the dominance of infaunal benthic foraminifers and the presence of the planktonic foraminifer O. beckmanni. Gray area highlights the perturbation in calcareous microfossil assemblages during the MECO.
