A cross-section view of Desmophyllum, revealing its internal structure

A cross-section view of Desmophyllum, revealing its internal structure. The life history of the cup corals collected will be studied extensively after the expedition. Large specimens, such as this, were cut in half with a diamond blade then subsampled for studies on cup coral genetics, nutrition, reproduction , age and growth. Their skeletons provide insight into past ocean conditions.
