Abstract
⺠This study documents cold-water coral ridges at the base of the Miami Terrace. ⺠Coral ridges are oriented perpendicular to a southward bottom current up to 0.6 m/s. ⺠Coral ridges are biogenic in origin and unrelated to the antecedent topography. ⺠Active bedload sand transport limits coral ridge development. ⺠Ridge initiation is related to a Mid-Miocene unconformity.
