Abstract

Noncalcareous Pleistocene sediments of the Central Arctic Ocean contain sparse benthic foraminiferal assemblages consisting entirely of agglutinated taxa. Deep water agglutinated foraminifera are studied from two piston cores collected from the Lomonosov Ridge and Amundsen Basin [Cores PS 2177-5 (KAL) and 2176-3 (KAL)]. Core PS 2177-5 (KAL) contains an assemblage of 10 species, dominated by Cyclammina pusilla Brady, and is interpreted to reflect a bathyal environment with variable organic flux and nutrition levels. Core PS 2176-3 (KAL) in the Amundsen Basin yielded a very depauperate benthic foraminiferal assemblage. It is assumed that the environment was inhospitable for agglutinated foraminifera.
