    10:26 Before getting to our first outcrop this morning we needed to repair the vehicle.

    Raw transcript

    Before getting to our first outcrop this morning we needed to repair the vehicle. We had noticed a wobble while driving and then by the time we stopped the tire had come detached from the tire rot on the right side. The fix was essentially to relieve the pressure on an alligator clip high up, sort of closer to the body of the car and then feed the tire rod back into the part that comes off the tire and rotate until it was fully threaded again.

    Raw transcript

    At the top of the section, there is a layer of sand. Likely what Stardard was calling a perched beach. It's very reminiscent of the aioli-nights on Mocha. It's not what you'd think of in a textbook as a classic aioli-nite where you have very constant grain sizes and it's all... I mean this is very angular. There's no boulders or cobbles. It's still sand, but it's quite angular. Probably aioli-nite forming during high-energy sort of storm events.

    It really seems like there's a horrible accident that comes to about the low point of the tidal notch of the elevated notch where all the coral colonies are growing vertically, sort of filling a combination space, attaching to the rock. And then above that it starts to be a bit more haphazardly orientation of the corals. The corals get a little bit smaller. Again, this suggests that these are Holocene corals growing in a notch.

    It's really challenging to decide where the Holocene ends and where MIS-5E begins. It makes this interpretation tough. There are large corals that could be part of the wall rock or they could be part of Holocene and film. Down low near the reef flat, it's easier to convince yourself that as you work way back into the grooves, it becomes more complicated for sure.

    Raw transcript

    There's been some discussion of the cracks that seem to have worked their way through the outcrop horizontally in a few places. Are these paleo surfaces or not? But the two photos I just took are a good example showing that the cracks can go right through large coral colonies, which is not what you'd expect if the surface was caused by erosion and then re-colonized later.

    Along the road there are patches of sand and then rocky patches, off into the side of the rocky patches which tend to be a little bit higher. There are boulders in the makatera in the field to the side. Suggestive that maybe the rocky parts here were actually paleo highs like little bommies and we're walking across a reef flat with a lot of tiny little patch reefs and when they made the road they just cleared off as much as they could. The photograph kind of shows this.

    The wind and waves are really pushing a lot of water to the reef flat. You can see in the foreground of one of these photographs the micro-attholes with colored rims and the stony, non-colorful top. In other places in calm environments we've seen that these are basically the low water mud. And here they're quite under water. Wonder if it's just the wind pushing water up onto the shelf.

    Large coral colonies at the top of the spur. Quite a few of them. Which feels distinct from where we work this morning. The tops of the spurs were quite encrusted. The corals that were there, they were massive colonies. I feel like we're a little bit lower here. So I wonder if this side, the spurs are actually not filling as much of the accompanation space.
