This dataset contains d15N isotope data and nitrogen content from scleractinian coral (Desmophyllum dianthus) samples obtained from various specimen collections. The original coral samples were collected at a variety of sites worldwide between 1961 and 2009. Coral age from radiocarbon dating and Uranium-Thorium dating, sample depth, latitude, and longitude are also included.
These data were published as supplemental table S1 in:
