A Sharpie marking something?

This core sample may provide the kind of data the global warming naysayers insist we don't have, the kind that may demonstrate that it is human activity, and SOLELY human activity, that has spurred this latest warming event.

I'm not sure which one you mean? Normally there is an "organic layer" just below the tissue that only lasts for about 0.5-1 cm.

In the pic I posted there is a 2 - 6CM thick green band which appears about 2 CM below the tissue.
OOoookaay... where did I pull a coral head that died in the 80s from? :? Wait, lemme check...coprolite":lb9tf1gm said:seamaiden":lb9tf1gm said:He's showing me the core of a large coral head that died back in... the '80s I believe.
Nope.

The idea is to establish pre-anthropogenic climate variability: magnitude, temporal and spatial distributions and scales.
