It?s not easy to get to the center of a half-ton of coral. WHOI engineer Peter Landry (right) works with an employee of Fletcher Granite?s Chelmsford Quarry in North Chelmsford, Mass., to move, position, and slice the huge coral into manageable pieces. Slicing prepares it for a later CT scan, which will reveal the coral's annual growth bands. (Dave Gray, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution)[back]
