Skeletal density

ID: 61

Class: Biomechanical

Description:

The material density of coral skeleton. Porosity measurements can be converted to density by multiplying the reciprocal of porosity by the maximum density of aragonite (2.94 g cm^-3).

Standards:

• Density (g cm-3) default
• Density (g mL^-1)

Methodologies:

• Archimedes principle
• Kobe porosimeter
• X-radiography (densitometer)
