Abstract
The foraminiferal data presented here are from marine sediment core samples collected on the 2010 LARISSA cruise – NBP1001. The location of the 2 cores, NBP1001 JKC55 and JPC127, is outer Barilari Bay, western Antarctic Peninsula. The cores were paired, a shorter jumbo kasten core and a longer jumbo piston core. These data were generated by Ilona Matulaitis, under the direction of Scott Ishman (sishman@ku.edu), Kansas Geological Survey. All questions regarding the specifics of these data should be directed to Scott Ishman.

The >63 micron sample residue was dried then picked through for foraminifera using a reflected light binocular stereomicroscope, to obtain at least 300 specimens per sample to ensure that full diversity within each sample was accounted for (Dennison and Hay, 1967). The picked foraminifera were identified to the species level, using the taxonomic concepts of Igarashi et al., 2001 and Echols, 1971.
