Note the replicate d18O samples. Coral growth characteristics (Density, Extn & Calcn) measured 1815-1986. d15N measured 1820-1987 & d18O measured 1828-1987. Thought to be the same coral head later sampled by AIMS as GFB31.

Higher resolution GPS coordinates for latitude and longitude of GFB31 coral head are -19.155083, 146.866167.

Based on previously determined chronologies of the same cores.

Approx. 100 mg collected from coral central growth axis using a small drill and a 2 mm diameter carbide engraving bit. Samples were collected from each high and each low density band. Additional samples were collected from the low density bands where extension >10 mm (i.e. minimum of two and maximum of three samples per year of growth).
