Project Description: The researcher and his team will collect fossil stromatoporoids from intervals of the Devonian succession of carbonate rocks. Carbonates of early Middle Devonian age are known to be available on Truro Island but have not been extensively collected for stromatoporoids. These will be revisited to improve collections from this interval.
