An analysis of the ratios of oxygen isotopes in fossil shell material yields estimates of ancient temperatures. Oceanic paleotemperatures based on analysis of fossil calcareous foraminiferal tests are widely used to interpret Cenozoic paleoclimate and paleoceanography (see “Stable Isotope Stratigraphy”).
