Specimen id: 72 When found: Saturday, August 23, 1958

Geological Horizon:

Lower Jurassic
Hettangianian Stage

Grid Reference: NZ965033 [Map]
Notes:

These specimens were recovered from loose blocks of rock washed up on to Fat Scar and Low Scar at Robin-Hood’s-Bay. It was assumed that the loose blocks were from offshore reefs of the Planorbis Zone. This however has always felt to be unlikely and the specimens may need to be re-identified.
