Highlights • Comparison of encrusting and rhodolith coralline algae for paleoclimate reconstruction • Both coralline algal forms can yield SST information, but encrusting forms generally yield higher correlations to SST. • Encrusting morphologies yielded longer records due to frequent growth irregul...
