Short summary
We investigated the shell chemistry of planktic organisms called foraminifera to understand how conditions in the Gulf of Aqaba (north of Red Sea), a relative warm and saline sea, are recorded. We analyzed shell parts, called chambers, and we found that shell chemistry varies significantly between both chambers and foraminifera species. These findings help better understand how deposited shells can be used to reconstruct past ocean temperatures and other conditions.
