Commonly recovered subfossil specimens could potentially extend these archives through the Holocene. However, protein matrix stability and integrity of isotopic and chemical proxies over multi-millennial timescales in such specimens have never been examined. Here we compared isotopic data and skeletal composition of live-collected and subfossil (~9.6-11.6 kyrs BP) Kulumanamana haumeaae specimens from the central Pacific to understand the effects of long-duration benthic oxic exposure on skeletal protein composition and isotope values. The subfossil coral had large, coupled shifts in bulk d15N (~7‰) and d13C (~2‰) in the outermost portion (<10 mm), coincident with extensive alteration of the protein matrix. Physical changes coincided with increased C/N ratio (+0.8) and isotope-based amino acid degradation parameters (e.g. SV =3), indicating extensive degradation of seawater exposed gorgonin. However, interior gorgonin (>10 mm) remained preserved at both molecular and isotopic level. Little change occurred in AA molar composition with the exception of glycine loss, and d15N and d13C compound-specific patterns of amino acids (CSI-AA) were generally unaltered in the inner subfossil coral. These results indicate that while bulk isotope data may be compromised, CSI-AA data can reconstruct paleo-oceanographic biogeochemical and ecosystem information in subfossil corals beyond a clear “burn in” horizon which is strongly impacted by biotic and abiotic diagenesis. We propose that C/N ratios together with the SV degradation proxy can identify zones where isotopic and paleoproxy information remains viable. #--------------------------------------- # Funding_Agency # Funding_Agency_Name: NOAA/National Undersea Research Program # Grant: #--------------------------------------- # Funding_Agency # Funding_Agency_Name: National Geographic Society # Grant: 7717-04 #--------------------------------------- # Funding_Agency # Funding_Agency_Name: US National Science Foundation # Grant: OCE-1061689, OCE-1635527, GRFP-1339067 #--------------------------------------- # Site_Information # Site_Name: Cross Seamount # Location: North Pacific Ocean # Northernmost_Latitude: 19 # Southernmost_Latitude: 19 # Easternmost_Longitude: -158 # Westernmost_Longitude: -158 # Elevation_m: -400 #--------------------------------------- # Data_Collection # Collection_Name: PV590 G1 modern Mole% AA Glynn2022 # First_Year: # Last_Year: # Time_Unit: # Core_Length_m: # Parameter_Keywords: chemistry # Notes: Modern Cross Seamount Bulk Data - (Specimen ID: PV590 Gold 1) #--------------------------------------- # Chronology_Information # Chronology: # # Sample Coral ID: Live-collected PV590 Gold1, from Cross Seamount, Hawaii # Sample ID CAMS # Depth (mm) d13C fraction Modern ± 14C age ± yrs Age Model (Cal YrBP) 1s error Age Model (CE) Age Model (yrBP) # PV590 G1 0.2 157079 0.2 -17.039196673432 1.07357280614992 4.3615323097497E-03 >Modern NaN NaN 1978 -28 # PV590 G1 0.3 157080 0.3 -17.3713047642488 1.08553945151191 3.7629167145456E-03 >Modern NaN NaN 1971 -21 # PV590 G1 0.5 157081 0.5 -16.7395222507119 0.971375302822809 2.8210198783623E-03 235 25 NaN NaN 1958 -8 # PV590 G1 0.7 157082 0.7 -16.7005340634853 0.959171410290262 2.78664490919978E-03 335 25 NaN NaN 1944 6 # PV590 G1 0.9 157083 0.9 -16.5704149933636 0.941942002135064 2.73675549552683E-03 480 25 78 77 1931 19 # PV590 G1 2.5 157084 2.5 -16.4767917922756 0.934702162862072 2.71594770839413E-03 540 25 181 79 1815 135 # PV590 G1 5 157085 5 -16.1177983120316 0.918560679837579 2.67008023540826E-03 680 25 335 72 1698 252 # PV590 G1 7.5 157086 7.5 -15.5351658385478 0.926420767120785 3.79663463474418E-03 615 35 236 86 1624 326 # PV590 G1 10.6 157087 10.6 -16.3646141700196 0.907303574221221 2.39488220610708E-03 780 25 410 67 1505 445 # PV590 G1 12.7 157088 12.7 -16.3282170834324 0.895561906041668 2.58086425815466E-03 885 25 496 57 1428 522 # PV590 G1 14 * 157843 14 -16.5639342288933 0.895537666887414 1.05908684973449E-02 890 100 515 103 1383 567 # * CAMS# 157843, PV 590 14.0mm was a 40µgC target.
