Figure 8: Coral depth distributions for three commonly dated species in the fossil database.

From: A database of biological and geomorphological sea-level markers from the Last Glacial Maximum to present

Figure 8

The data uses observational and living data with a vertical depth precision of ≤ 0.25 m only. Coloured bars below each histogram are the palaeo-water depth estimates for various sites (grouped by ocean basin; blue=Pacific Ocean, orange=Indian Ocean, green=Caribbean) used by the original authors. Different coral growth forms are indicated by text in brackets.
