100,000 Year Old Coral Reef Found!

Found in Australia! Looks like we have a mission for our own JohnO!

Quote:

Sydney - Australian scientists on Friday said they had discovered new coral reefs stretching 100km in the remote Gulf of Carpentaria off the country's rugged north coast.

Geoscience Australia said the reefs, estimated to be at least 100 000 years old, were a major discovery.

They were found by a survey team that went to the Gulf of Carpentaria to follow up on initial exploration work carried out two years ago, when three "patch" reefs, one 10km across, were found.
