| Research Abstract |
A cross-dating method for coral skeletons was examined by connecting plural reconstructed paleoclimate records to make their chronology longer. Holocene fossil corals were collected from Sekisei lagoon, Ryukyu, Japan, and their radiocarbon ages were determined, annual bands were counted, and oxygen isotope ratios were measured. These results indicate that more than 400-year paleoclimate record will be obtained from overlapped chronologies of some coral samples. Besides, to make oxygen isotope analysis simpler and quicker, the precision, analysis time and optimum conditions for coral samples were examined for GasBench/isotope ratio mass spectrometry.
