Comment:
A fossil coral from Tasmaloum (Vanuatu) was found between 0.80 and 1.20 m depth in drill core 9A, collected at an altitude of +4.66 m above sea level. Owing to the calculated uplift rate the paleodepth of the Porites can be estimated ~10-15 m at 4150 years B.P. The surrounding coral assemblages indicate an open shallow marine environment. For the present study, precision on the Sr/Ca paleothermometer was ±1.3 deg C, and ±0.9 deg C for the U/Ca paleothermometer. The data consist of reconstructed Sea Surface Temperatures extrapolated from analyses of trace element ratios in a fossil coral head. A date of 4166 ±15 calendar yr BP was obtained by the U/Th series technique for the coral. This date corresponds to the cold episode centered around sample #464.
