This site is on the Vanished World Trail, in the limestone terrain of the Waitaki Valley in the South Island. Fossilised skeletons of dolphins, whales and penguins as well as other organisms from 25 million years ago have been discovered there – relics of a time when the valley formed the floor of a shallow sea.
