    are strong dating tools, and their records can span several centuries (from 5 to 25 Myr ago). Corals secrete layers of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) which form their skeletons.

The layers from corals have annual banding patterns which help date the changes that scientists discover. Light-coloured layers appear
