Abstract
⺠The first documented effects of volcanic ash upon pteropods. ⺠Horizons of pteropods were found to coincide with deposits of volcanic ash in cores from Montserrat. ⺠Pteropod dissolution was analysed using the Limacina Dissolution Index. ⺠Ash mixing experiments determined the likely extent of seawater acidification. ⺠Ash-related seawater acidification was most likely the cause of pteropod decimation.
