Southeast Asia hosts the maximum centre of coral diversity. Evidence from palaeontological and molecular studies suggests that the Miocene was an important period for diversification in the region. However, the fossil record is markedly undersampled. Of the \~{}200 species of azooxanthellate corals present in the region, only 49 species are known in the fossil record. As part of the Throughflow ITN project, we are collecting new data to document the Miocene diversity of zooxanthellate and azooxanthellate scleractinians from shallow and deep-water habitats preserved in outcrops of East Kalimantan (5-20 Million years old). This project has completed two five-week long field seasons and is currently processing samples. So far, we have identified the azooxanthellate taxa Caryophyllia, Stephanocyathus, Flabellum, Heterocyathus, and Madrepora. Preservation can be excellent allowing geochemical analysis to understand the paleoenviromental conditions in which these species were living. In combination with parallel studies on shallow water ecosystems, these new data provide insights to the origins of the high diversity in this region.

Reefs in the Coral Triangle host the richest coral diversity today, and palaeontological and molecular evidence suggest that the Miocene (5-23 Ma) was an important period for diversification in this region. As part of the Throughflow ITN, the aims of this study are to determine which coral species occurred during this period and to understand how environmental factors controlled coral diversification on both temporal and spatial scales. Our new collections include tens of thousands of specimens from the rich and well-preserved Miocene fossil record of small patch reefs that developed in turbid habitats that are now preserved in the sediments of the Kutai Basin of East Kalimantan (Indonesia). Preliminary results suggest that species diversity was high and comparable to modern coral settings living under turbid environmental conditions. A total of 150 morphospecies from 70 genera have been identified, including nine genera known as extinct. Our findings have revealed that some lineages that were previously known from the Plio-Pleistocene record were already present during the Miocene time. These discoveries have a profound impact on our understanding of the origins of today’s diversity in the Coral Triangle. Further research will focus on the incorporation of these fossils into phylogenetic analyses in order to estimate divergence times and explore the relationship of evolutionary trends with environmental changes at biogeographic scale.
