Summary
Abstract: Results of analysis of a core collected from a 'fossil' massive Porites coral
exposed in the raised reefs around Laing Island, Papua New Guinea. The coral
grew about 2.7 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 average of
