Relationships Between Skeletal Architecture and Density Banding in the Reef Coral Diploria strigosa From X-Radiography, X-Ray Computed Tomography and Image Analysis Techniques

Cyclic variations in skeletal structure of long-lived reef corals produce annual density bands evident by X-radiography and X-ray computed tomography. The chemical composition of the calcium carbonate (CaCO3) skeleton and the chronological reliability of these high-density (HD) and low-density (LD)...
