Ancient, huge, coral tsunami debris

by Joe on Oct. 10th, 2008

This article in Science News suggests that seven immense chunks of coral found more than 100 yards from the beach on a Tongan Island could be the world’s largest tsunami debris. Each of the chunks of coral weigh more than 46 metric tons each with the largest being three stories tall and 1,200 metric tons.

Check out a slide show of the coral chunks here.
