We reconstructed the past deep-water character of the equatorial Indian Ocean using the isotope ratio of neodymium ( ε  Nd ) in the Fe–Mn coating of mixed-species foraminifera. When compared with previous  ε  Nd  records at the same site (ODP 758) and at another site to the west (SK 129), the three datasets were consistent and showed glacial-interglacial variations, even though the other two records were extracted from different media (cleaned foraminifera and bulk sediment leach). This confirms that while the foraminiferal coating is the preferred medium for reconstructing past bottom water  ε  Nd  records, for carbonate-dominated lithologies, weak acid extraction of bulk sediment is also a viable option offering high-resolution capabilities. When the lithology includes volcanic particles or high organics, the extraction protocol may need to be adjusted to guard against detrital contamination or a slight correction may need to be applied. During glacials, the deep waters bathing the equatorial Indian Ocean had a larger AABW component and during interglacials a larger NADW component. Our HI1808-GPC04 record supplements the ODP 758 record in the interval with prominent AABW signal (MIS 6/5 transition and MIS 7) and reveals regional effects in some non-radiogenic intervals. The smaller differences between the HI1808-GPC04/ODP 758 and SK 129 records seem to reflect regional Nd input from river systems and non-radiogenic Nd from the boundaries.
