Table 1. Dissolution ranking of planktic foraminifera based on previous work by several authors: Low numbers
correspond to least resistance and vice versa. If data of all authors are standardized, genus-dependent resistance
with respect to dissolution becomes obvious: (least resistant) Globigerinoides sp. < Globigerina sp. <
Globigerinella sp. < Globigerinita sp. < Globorotalia sp. (most resistant). Species are listed according to the
classification by Hemleben et al. (1989).
