Summary
Abstract: Results of analysis of a core collected from a 'fossil' massive Porites coral
exposed in the raised reefs of the Huon Peninsula, Papua New Guinea. The coral
grew about 118-128 ka BP, during the Last Interglacial, when sea-level was
about 5 m above present day level. The core was collected vertically down the
axis of maximum growth of the colony. This core was subsampled into 1mm growth
