13CBC01Coral Slabs
Coral slabs are cut sections of coral skeletons, typically sliced from large coral colonies for scientific analysis. These slabs preserve the growth bands of corals, similar to tree rings, which record environmental conditions over time. Coral skeletons incorporate chemical signatures (like oxygen isotopes and trace elements) that reflect sea surface temperature, salinity, and water chemistry during growth. Additionally, they are used to study carbonate deposition rates and reef health.

2015-313-FASettling Plates
Settling plates (also called settlement plates) are simple but powerful tools used in marine science to study how organisms colonize surfaces underwater. They serve as artificial substrates that mimic natural surfaces, allowing researchers to measure recruitment rates of benthic organisms such as corals, algae, barnacles, and other invertebrates.
