Microstructural characteristics of the stony coral genus Acropora useful to coral reef paleoecology and modern conservation
Abstract Identification of fossil corals is often limited due to poor preservation of external skeleton morphology, especially in the genus Acropora which is widespread across the Indo‐Pacific. Based on skeleton characteristics from thin section, we here develop a link between the internal skeleton...
