Abstract

Isopachous aragonite ray cement (ARC) lines large vugs (>5 cm) through a 4m interval recovered in core samples. The top of the interval corresponds to the top of the 194 ka coral reef terrace, which is unconformably overlain by the 122 ka terrace. ARC was precipitated after a period of meteoric diagenesis during which vuggy porosity was produced. -from Authors
