Records of mean sortable silt and planktonic foraminiferal preservation from the Ceara ¤ Rise (western equatorial Atlantic) and from the Caribbean are presented to analyze the Pliocene (3.5^2.2 Ma) to Pleistocene (1.6^0.3 Ma) evolution of near-bottom current strength and the carbonate corrosiveness
