15:10 Ngatangiia weathered reef-terrace startInitial stop at the Rarotonga 5e/Holocene reference locality found a weathered low-tide flat with banged-up 30-40 cm coral blocks, uncertain growth position, and strong need for photo/elevation checks.
Raw transcript
Stopped at the 5e record slash Holocene record on Rartanga. Nothing really surprising. The corals look pretty banged up like the Gishler paper said. Slow tide so we can get out and walk on the flat. Not seeing anything in gross position or in situ. It's really hard to tell the surfaces very weather. Not some great coral, maybe 30cm, 40cm size blocks. Not sure if they're in situ, they're probably rubble.
