The stable isotope composition of one epifaunal and three infaunal benthic foraminiferal species of a sediment core from 1800 m water depth of the western Arabian Sea was determined to evaluate deepwater oxygenation, organic matter remineralization, and early diagenetic processes during the past 190,000 years. The d18O records reveal species-specific metabolic effects, susceptibility to changes in carbonate ion concentration, and supralysoclinal calcite dissolution. The foraminiferal d13C records reveal changes in the stable carbon isotope gradients of pore water dissolved inorganic carbon (d13CDIC) and in the microhabitat depth of infaunal species. Maximum d13CDIC offsets between bottom and pore waters ranged between mean values of 0.8 and 1.2% corresponding to estimates of deepwater oxygen concentration between approximately 1 and 2.7 ml/l. Intervals of improved deepwater oxygenation coincided with high benthic foraminiferal diversity and indicate the admixture of well-oxygenated deepwater masses during interglacials. During interglacial maxima the d13C difference between epifauna and shallow infauna indicates highest organic matter remineralization rates at times of maximum organic matter fluxes.

The existing database for paleointensity estimates of the ancient geomagnetic field contains more than 1500 data points collected through decades of effort. Despite the huge amount of work put into obtaining these data, there remains a strong bias in the age and global distribution of the data toward very young results from a few locations. Also, few of the data meet strict criteria for reliability and most are of unknown quality. In order to improve the age and spatial distribution of the paleointensity database, we have carried out paleointensity experiments on submarine basaltic glasses from a number of DSDP sites. Of particular interest are the sites that provide paleointensity data spanning the time period 0.3-5 Ma, a time of relatively few high quality published data points. Our new data are concordant with contemporaneous data from the published literature that meet minimum acceptance criteria, and the combined data set yields an average dipole moment of 5.49 +/- 2.36*10**22 Am**2. This average value is comparable to the average paleofield for the period 5-160 Ma (4.2 +/- 2.3*10**22 Am**2) (Juarez et al., 1998, doi:10.1038/29746) and is substantially less than the value of approximately 8*10**22 Am**2 often quoted for the last 5 Myr (e.g. McFadden and McElhinny (1982) J. Geomagn. Geoelectr. 34, 163-189; Goguitchaichvili et al., 1999, doi:10.1016/S0012-821X(99)00010-2).

Uranium is a ductile metal and cannot be comminuted to a fine powder by any mechanical means such as crushing, milling or grinding. Uranium, however, reacts readily with hydrogen and forms UH3, which is a fine powder of less than 400 mesh screen size. The factors controlling the rats of the hydride formation are: (a) The surface area of the metal; (b) the temperature at which the reaction takes place; (c) the pressure of hydrogen. In order to increase the reaction area, one has to hydride small metal pieces rather than a single mass. The hydrogen reacts with uranium metal at temperatures as low as 100 deg to 1500 deg, and the reaction rate becomes quite rapid at approximately 225 deg C. The hydrogen for this purpose has to be of high purity and any small amount of oxygen in hydrogen delays the start of the reaction.
