Summary
Abstract: Results of analysis of a core collected from a 'fossil' massive Porites coral
exposed in the raised reefs around Tabat Island, Madang Lagoon, Papua New
Guinea. The coral grew about 2.5 ka BP, when sea-level was similar to its
present day level. The core was collected vertically down the axis of maximum
growth of the colony. This core was subsampled into 2mm growth increments,
resulting in an ... View entire text
