Dear Coral-List Members,
I have recently begun thin-sectioning two specimens of Acropora palmata from
the Florida Keys. Entombed within the skeletons, I have found several
sediment particles. Thus far, all of these particles appear to be skeletal
material from Halimeda sp. I have been unable to find any references in the
liturature that document this phenomenon. I would appreciate hearing from
anyone who knows of pertinent references in the literature or has seen
anything similar in their own research. Please reply to me directly at the
e-mail address below. Thank you.
Sincerely,
Lisa Kellogg
