Lead rewrite date April 2011 A pseudo atoll , like an atoll , is an island of coral that encircles a lagoon partially or completely. A pseudo atoll differs from an atoll as established by several authorities. Definitions Alexander Agassiz gave the term pseudo atoll to any ring shaped reef s not formed as a result of subsidence . ref Agassiz, A., A reconnaissance of the Bahamas and elevated reefs of Cuba. Bulletin of the Museum of Comparative Zoology 26 1 203. 1894. ref while Norman D. Newell and J. Keith Rigby ref J. Keith Rigby, Associate Professor of Geological Sciences, Notre Dame University ref called such reefs non coral. ref Newell, N.D, Rigby, J.K., 1957, Geological studies on the Great Bahama Bank, in Regional Aspects of Carbonate Deposition SEPM Spec. Pub. 5, p. 1572. ref and We conclude that almost atoll should be retained as a descriptive term as defined by Davis and Tayama, and that the use of near atoll as a synonym be abandoned. The value of terms such as semi atoll and pseudo atoll needs close examination and more rigorous definition before being generally accepted. H. Mergner yet states that micro atolls classify as pseudo atolls. Professor David R. Stoddart of University of California Berkeley Berkeley states an almost atoll is an atoll with a central island of left over residue. Usage Dr. Edward J. Petuch, author of Cenozoic seas the view from eastern North America , refers to pseudo atolls as pseudoatolls with the Everglades Pseudoatoll as an example. ref Petuch, Edward J., Cenozoic Seas The View From Eastern North America, CRC Press 1 edition December 29, 2003 , ISBN 0849316324. ref See also Atoll Island Coral reef References reflist http geography.berkeley.edu people person detail.php?person 40 David R.
