In this study, the different sediment contributors to the Challenger Mound are identified and assessed throughout its entire 2.6 Ma long development. Supporting the existing coral-stratigraphy, the Challenger Mound depositional sequence reveals a two-phase development, separated by a significant hiatus. The potential of coral carbonate mounds as intermediate water depth, continental margin, (Plio-)Pleistocene palaeo-archives is showcased. [Source: Marine Geology]
