Four seismic refraction profiles on the Coroa Vermelha Reef. Abrolhos Bank. revealed the presence of a wave-velocity disconformity. Diagenetic alteration observed on a drill core from the same site at about the depth of the disconformity indicates that such a surface, developed on a limestone reef. is due to processes related to subaerial exposure. This evidence of subaerial exposure correlated with the last Pleistocene low stand of sea level, plus the morphology of the subsurface sequence as well as its faunal composition indicate that the underlying substrate of the Holocene Coroa Vermelha Reef is a reef limestone of a probable Pleistocene age.
