The original stable isotopic composition of low-Mg calcitic planktic foraminifer tests is preserved in Pleistocene shallowmarine carbonates (in the Ryukyu Group; Okinawa, Japan) that have been altered by meteoric diagenesis. Whole-rock analyses indicate depleted isotopic values for both d 13 C (ฯช1.9
