Close-up of the coral branch in expl8380, showing a cross-section of its growth bands

Close-up of the coral branch in expl8380, showing a cross-section of its growth bands. At very high resolution, one can count these annual growth bands to determine age. This particular species deposits both a carbonate (light) and proteinacious (dark) material to form its skeleton.
