Fig. 9.

Sediment core SAT 10 (2.45 m) west of Saliña Tam (Fig. 2) with 14C data and grain size distribution of the upper four clastic sediment units. Grain size samples represent the centre of each layer A–D. Each line style indicates a particular grain size distribution of one of the four carbonate sand/mud units (A–D) in the core. Correlating line styles of the core units are displayed on top of the core photo. The photo inset at the top left shows a profile within a trench at the same site, displaying the uppermost part of the peat and three of the overlying carbonate sand/mud units (A–C) as indicated on the core photo as well as a massive coral branch. Correlating line styles are plotted on the left. EWE = extreme wave event.
