[Speaker 1]
Observation of a quarrel. And sort of the upper part of its high near the walk, the entrance near the road. Take. I took a picture with my. Tg5. And. The coral lights sort of grow upwards in a feather pattern. Uh. You know, maybe a millimeter to half a millimeter apart?

[Speaker 1]
It kind of looks like a deploria when I see it from from end on. So some kind of brain coral. Pattern to the ridges between four lights.

Transcript: raw_field/google_recorder/052_20260526_0954_may_26_at_9-54_am_6556b5e1.txt

The lower part of this unit.

[Speaker 1]
Uh, is dominated with a branching Coral that I'll describe now. The branches are. Maybe a centimeter? At at maximum should? Diameter.

[Speaker 1]
The colonies can be several meters across in growth position. I took a picture with. Uh, with my tg5. Uh, with a ruler showing that. Um, the coralites themselves. When you see the branches head on you, it looks like a bunch of tiny little rings. There, maybe? Two millimeters across very evenly spaced.

[Speaker 1]
I can't quite tell if they have the characteristic end on coralite that you would see in a croprapper. But some kind of upward branching. Colonial Coral definitely in situ! Um, and can be quite large.

Transcript: raw_field/google_recorder/051_20260526_0958_may_26_at_9-58_am_2735daed.txt

[Speaker 1]
Still describing that last Coral. As I stepped back, I realized that the colony is actually. Uh, maybe tens of meters across. It extends all the way down the beach. Um, as. One massive Colony. Uh, and I took another picture, and that only covers about half of it. There's more that extends down towards the beach.

[Speaker 1]
I'm looking at two new corals in a unit above the large branching Network. I took a bunch of pictures of these corals. They're side by side, which helps. Sort of key in on the observational differences. The one on the right?

[Speaker 1]
Sort of, uh? Circular, maybe 70 millimeters, 0.7 centimeter.

[Speaker 1]
Coralite Chambers. All sort of lined up like a bunch of circles next to each other, like a honeycomb. And in cross section, you can see. Uh, a pretty distinct vertical. Uh, Network separating this sort of little horizontal Chambers. Coral is in growth position. Next to it is a coral with extremely small.

[Speaker 1]
Uh, kind of the same pattern, so we have these. Vertical. Rides with. Horizontal. Chambers, but everything's just much smaller when you look in Dawn. You can see that same sort of a bunch of circles next to each other honeycomb, but these are about a millimeter. Maybe two millimeters in diameter?

[Speaker 1]
The smaller coralite Coral. Weather is very sort of smoothly to touch. There's the other one is a lot more. Some holes of jaggedness coming out of the rock.

Transcript: raw_field/google_recorder/048_20260526_1005_may_26_at_10-05_am_8d95fa06.txt

[Speaker 1]
The smooth Coral seems to sort of wrap around. Little laps of high topography, maybe encrusting along the side. So also. At least in the location I just photographed. Really heavily. Punctured by Christmas tree worm. Or some other kind of attaching. Organism took a bunch of pictures of these holes that sort of penetrate through the coral.

[Speaker 1]
Maybe at the top of some of these, there are. Uh, sort of big and cluster colonies. Lots of super dense carbonate cement and. Just kind of looks like a jumbled mess. Uh, reminds me of things that we saw in the Barbados Reef.

Transcript: raw_field/google_recorder/047_20260526_1012_may_26_at_10-12_am_cace0175.txt

[Speaker 1]
The upper part of this owlcroft is, I mean, almost everything is Coral. It all seems like part of the framework. A lot of this really small, coralite Coral. I just took another picture. Of this side-by-side relationship with the other sort of larger honeycomb Coral. The honeycomb Coral. Is maybe in this case, 40 centimeters across, and I've seen a lot of similar sizes.

[Speaker 1]
Um, but it's sort of sitting in many, many meters of this finer. Moral, where you can't really see where it starts and ends.

Transcript: raw_field/google_recorder/045_20260526_1018_may_26_at_10-18_am_d728d0ab.txt

Pretty consistent feature of the outcrop in general. Is that the?

[Speaker 1]
Branching, large framework corals I talked about early on. I'm not really present in this upper unit. It could be that they were only present in that initial Groove that we walked down. And maybe in another Groove. I would see them again, but I see them every time I get down towards the beach.

[Speaker 1]
And when I'm up a meter to, I don't really see them very much.

Transcript: raw_field/google_recorder/043_20260526_1020_may_26_at_10-20_am_326a623e.txt

[Speaker 1]
Just took a picture of another deploria. I think it's very similar to the one I first described. The weathering is a little bit different here. I may want to check in photos if the. Scale is the same sort of the the size of the chambers of the. Um, width of the core lights as the one I described and photographed earlier.

Transcript: raw_field/google_recorder/042_20260526_1022_may_26_at_10-22_am_b8ac8ffe.txt

I'm taking a close look at.

[Speaker 1]
Coral that looks a lot like the one that I've been calling the smooth coral. Uh, maybe this is just a different weathering pattern or expression. I just took a few photos where you can really see. These sort of circular? Floralite walls. Uh, kind of poking out with sort of a positive relief.

[Speaker 1]
I can't quite tell if this is the same just sort of the top end view of the one that looks incredibly fine from the side.

Transcript: raw_field/google_recorder/040_20260526_1026_may_26_at_10-26_am_b48dd171.txt

[Speaker 1]
A bit higher up here. There is another. Branching Coral. I think it's distinct from the one below. Because it has this sort of half centimeter width to the branches. The actual texture of the coral is reminiscent of the smooth one, so there's this very small coralites. It have sort of a positive relief relationship with the structure.

[Speaker 1]
The Colony itself is only about 10 to 15 centimeters across. Just photographed it.

Transcript: raw_field/google_recorder/038_20260526_1029_may_26_at_10-29_am_5125c09e.txt

[Speaker 1]
Just photographed an interesting sort of modern feature. I'm sitting in a pile of sand that was likely pushed up. Recent storm or large waves? And it's sitting in a little pocket. And along the walls, where you can clearly see the the sand is deflated a little bit. There's very distinct tannish cement along the walls.

[Speaker 1]
You've seen this in other places where sand sort of sits on Limestone, and it accumulates rain, water, or sea spray, and then you get this sort of heavy cementation at that contact.

Transcript: raw_field/google_recorder/037_20260526_1031_may_26_at_10-31_am_810ae6c8.txt

[Speaker 1]
Another photograph of the smaller branching Coral, one with the smaller branches and the texture that is reminiscent of the. Coral that I've been calling the smooth coral. It's surrounded by a bunch of deploria and some of the smooth core itself.

Transcript: raw_field/google_recorder/033_20260526_1037_may_26_at_10-37_am_c4703a0f.txt

[Speaker 1]
A few more photos taken of the large Colonial branching Coral at the bottom. Upon close inspection is very likely. It's the same as the tiny ones. The small 10 centimeter wide colonies from above. It's the same sort of positive relief. Very, very fine structure. And just depending on weathering.

[Speaker 1]
Sometimes the branch is like half a centimeter, and sometimes they look a little bit wider. Could be that it's two very similar species, the ones wider and one's thinner. It's hard to tell.

Transcript: raw_field/google_recorder/032_20260526_1042_may_26_at_10-42_am_08e480a1.txt

[Speaker 1]
Large Deport deploria block up on the road, just photographed likely was very close to here in its original position. Probably this bowler's been moved a little bit, and it's really massive, so. You know, an excavator that made the road might have moved a couple meters, but it doesn't seem like something that could be transported up here.

[Speaker 1]
There are other corals in the photograph. I mean, there's the sort of larger honeycomb Coral as well as potentially some branching corals that look sort of like finger Coral. Maybe the same as the branching core we've seen everywhere else here, but? Uh, this is way up on the road elevation's quite high.

[Speaker 1]
Potentially in situ. Just good to have for some context.

Just flew hs101. This is the matai section. We set out a bunch of gcps, collected some Coral samples from both Horizons. Uh, flew the Drone. Around 49 feet up. Uh, one pass. Sort of across the outcrop in sort of the orthogonal to the ocean. Direction. A second pass at a high angle, kind of flying over the ocean, looking back at the outcrops.

[Speaker 1]
Um, lower, maybe 20 feet 25 feet, and then a third pass really high at 150 feet. Uh, parallel to the shore.

[Speaker 1]
We're still wondering whether or not the road is actually around the elevation of Woodruff sand layer. Just behind the road. There's a hill covered in vegetation. That's another at least six meters higher than we are. Um, so we might try to bushwhack in and check it out.

Transcript: raw_field/google_recorder/013_20260526_1323_may_26_at_1-23_pm_e4f70a54.txt

[Speaker 1]
The topography I noted before is actually just the canopy, so we walked through. The scrub, and then it actually opens up underneath. And it turns out that the small vegetation near the shore when it gets away from the shore actually becomes quite tall trees.

Photograph of what kind of looks like a pipe more upward branching, large coral with one to two millimeter size, core lights with very thick thick, all right. So we're looking for another.

Transcript: raw_field/google_recorder/010_20260526_1451_may_26_at_2-51_pm_3d3b9161.txt

[Speaker 1]
Describing a coral that I don't think we saw very much of, if at all, at hs101. So, at hs102. Sort of. This upward branching makes me like organ or pipe more corals with. There's several centimeter wide. Uh, vertical columns. I think they're weathering out. I think it was like a pipe that was that wide, with some gaps between them.

[Speaker 1]
The core lights themselves, sort of, make up the walls of those columns, and the coralites are only about a millimeter or two millimeters wide.

Transcript: raw_field/google_recorder/009_20260526_1454_may_26_at_2-54_pm_6581deb8.txt

[Speaker 1]
There seems to be a tabular or encrusting form of a coral here with a very, very small, coralite. Uh, took a few pictures. Um, showing one of these tabs. It's kind of wavy and undulating and has. Clear boreholes through it. Uh, it's sort of sitting on top of qualities of other corals.

[Speaker 1]
And maybe it represents the end of proportal growth of this spot. Also seems like there's a brecha immediately above it, so maybe this is the contact between framework and Info?

[Speaker 1]
Each 102, the weather is not cooperating with us. We're not going to fly the Drone. Or really take pictures with the Nikon. It's a little too dangerous to work with some around the outcome, with big waves crashing on it. So, we're gonna just put the GPS on the coral samples.

[Speaker 1]
Maybe make some measurements kind of high up at the top of the makateo and call it a day for h102 to Aurora Beach.
