  abstract = {{T}he major reef-building coral genus {A}cropora has never been recorded, living or fossil, from the {M}arquesas {I}slands in the central {P}acific {O}cean, which are characterized by limited modern reef formations. {D}uring the "{M}usorstom 9" cruise in 1997, investigations of marine platforms representing drowned reef systems revealed for the first time the presence of two {A}cropora species as fossils at seven {M}arquesas islands. {T}he predominant species was {A}cropora valida, which was widespread in the archipelago and dated between 7.4 and 48.6 ka, providing evidence of an earlier {P}acific distribution pattern broader than previously observed. {I}t is proposed that disappearance of {A}cropora after 7.4 ka was linked to climatic events probably {ENSO} events controlling the distribution of corals and coral reefs in the eastern {P}acific without excluding alternatively the effects of an increase in sea-level rise.},
