We drove south along the western road from the airport, stopping at any clearings that were to the left of the road, hoping to find some evidence of what the top of the 5e sequence or the transition into some older higher makatam and look like. Everywhere we stopped, clearly an old quarry of some kind, a backhoe had come through either to clear land or an house or to collect probably material from making roads. I've just walked to the other side. I'm impressed with the modern dune. There's actually a high active sand dune sort of under the trees along the coast and just still this remarkable structure that we saw yesterday.

Photographs showing a 5e spur in a groove in the distance you can see in the tiny flat as it's found in a wave break and these have been dated at least around the northern southern cochiolis as early Holocene you can see there was similar assumption of the distribution of the mountain which is breaking similar to perhaps the 5e.

Out on the reef flat, right where the waves break, get a good view of a lot of the algal and clusters. In the highest energy zone there's a red, the rock gets a red tent, some kind of a crusting red calcareous algae or forminifera, and then there's sort of a Christmas tree, green color. This looks like moss, but likely a green algae. Maybe a filamentous algae kind of reminds me of a popper, a purple leaf, a popper for us, from Chippewa, Greece, Greece. Very few corals, if any, they're not bigger than a fist, and just micro-a-fin layers and crusting. Quite a few large gastropods.

Can't get a photograph right now without my underwater camera, but near shore you try to see a few more corals and you look closely actually the entire hardground is made out of vermatids. So these worm tubes everywhere are probably still alive growing on top of each other. I didn't quite recognize this at first, but the hardground itself seems like a constructional vermatid reef, at least right near the beach.

[Speaker 1] There's a distinct Horizon in the title Notch. Down near the shore here at hs116. It looks like a surface that dips towards the sea a little bit. And it's separating two two different units. Alternatively, it could be that this was an old. C Notch, maybe early Holocene that is now filled in with breccia? During the Holoceneous sea level Falls away a couple photos coming.

Walked around to the front side of one of the spurs to sort of check how much coral appears to be in growth position or in situ. There's a lot of rubble and there's some concern that maybe being in a groove, you're just going to see the rubble that accumulates along the walls of the groove, especially a very large groove. We took a photo, some parades colonies, some fairly large ones, a few upward branching, colonial corals. Maybe there's like an early Holocene notch feature, or maybe there's actually two separate layers. It's a little hard to tell. We're really sort of wondering if there's a lower unit here of a different age.

General summary of HS116. Fluid drone orders are one and a half spurs. A spur on the north side. Clearly has two layers in it. There are corals in situ, they get cut off by a second layer and new corals that grow out of that surface. The contact of that service is not planar and it's not the same elevation. It undulates and moves up and down up to a meter, just several meters of horizontal span. It's at your framework of and below. Likely this is the layer that Woodruff referred to and dated to stage seven. A few meters above sea. The tops of the spurs like the Zmaran meat. The spurs dip down towards land. There's no obvious reef flat behind them. It didn't even cube them up to the height of the spurs.
