Monothalamous soft-shelled foraminiferal image dataset from the Kveithola Trough (NW Barents Sea).

ABSTRACT: We present an image dataset of monothalamous soft-shelled Foraminifera (Monothalamea, [1]), an important component of benthic foraminiferal assemblage in sediment cores collected during two oceanographic expeditions that contributed to the MSM30-CORIBAR project (Ice dynamics and meltwater deposits: coring in the Kveithola trough, NW Barents Sea). 9 subsamples of sediment cores were collected during different years (2013-2016) in the Kveithola Trough, a glacially carved system in the NW Barents Sea. Cores were retrieved using a multi-corer (MUC) and a giant box-corer (GBC) and the subcores for foraminiferal analyses were obtained using Plexiglas tubes inserted manually into the cores. These subcores were sliced at 0.5 cm intervals down to 2 cm sediment depth and then every 1 cm down to 10 c
