关于北昆士兰边缘珊瑚礁内部结构的越来越多的信息表明，许多珊瑚礁直到全新世中期才在快速积累的非珊瑚礁沉积物上发展出真正的珊瑚礁结构。礁面主要由头珊瑚组成，厚度一般不足7米。早期礁滩的发展水平可能略高于现代海平面。
SummaryIncreasing information on the internal structure of north Queensland fringing reefs shows that many have developed true reefal structures only since mid-Holocence times, over rapidly accumulated non-reefal sediments. The reefal veneer consists mainly of head corals and is generally less than 7 m in thickness. Early reef flat development may have been at a level slightly higher than modern sea level.
