While it is understood that the extent and intensity of oxygen minimum zones are responsive to climate, the limited suite of viable proxies for low oxygen pelagic environments continues to pose a real barrier for paleoclimate interpretations. Here we investigate the proxy potential of an array of trace element (Mg, Mn, Zn, and Sr) to Ca ratios from the shells of Globorotaloides hexagonus, a planktic foraminifer endemic to tropical through temperate oxygen minimum zones. A species-specific relationship between Mg/Ca and temperature is proposed for quantitative reconstruction of oxygen minimum zone paleotemperatures. Both Mn/Ca and Zn/Ca ratios vary with oxygen concentration and could be useful for reconstructing G. hexagonus habitat where the primary signal can be d\istinguished from diagenetic overprinting. Finally, a robust correlation between Sr/Ca ratios and dissolved oxygen demonstrates a role for Sr as an indicator of oxygen minimum zone intensity, potentially via foraminiferal growth rate. The analysis of these relatively conventional trace element ratios in the shells of an oxygen minimum zone species has tremendous potential to facilitate multiproxy reconstructions from this enigmatic environment.}, journal={FRONTIERS IN MARINE SCIENCE}, publisher={Frontiers Media SA}, author={Davis, Catherine V. and Doherty, Shannon and Fehrenbacher, Jennifer and Wishner, Karen}, year={2023}, month={Mar} }
