Atlas of tropical carbonates

 

UNDER CONSTRUCTION

This is a companion page to the Atlas of cool water carbonates.

Two main sub-pages are planned:

Modern carbonate platforms and coral reefs

Ancient tropical – warm-water limestones and dolostones

To get the ball rolling, there is a wonderful photo collection from Palancar Cave coral reef, Cozumel, on the Caribbean coast of Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico, taken by Charlie Kerans. UNDER CONSTRUCTION
