They present new
benthic foraminiferal Mg/Ca, Li/Ca, and U/Ca records across the
Oligocene-Miocene boundary from Ocean Drilling Program Sites 926 and 929. Our
records demonstrate that Atlantic bottom-water temperatures varied cyclically,
with the main cooling and warming steps followed by ice growth and decay
respectively.
