Abstract

Laser Ablation-Inductively Coupled Plasma-Mass Spectrometer (LA-ICP-MS) provides an opportunity for us to perform in-situ microanalysis for depth profiling of elements and trace elements/Calcium ratios in calcite foraminiferal shells. In this study, Globigerinoides ruber shells were investigated with a total of 173 ablating positions from a total of 11 core top sediment samples that retrieved from the Indonesian Seas. The results showed changing compositions of Magnesium and Calcium from the inside to the outside surface for both of intra-test and inter-test. Subsequently, Mg/Ca ratios from the LA-ICP-MS microanalysis were compared with Mg/Ca ratios based on regular analyses, suggesting that LA-ICP-MS microanalysis may provide a comparatively safe and convenient way for investigating Mg/Ca ratio of planktonic foraminiferal shells with considerable reliability and accuracy.

Key words： Mg/Ca ratio; In-situ micro- and depth profiling- analysis; LA-ICP-MS; Globigerinoides ruber shells; Indonesian Seas.
