From the Depths of History: Revisiting the Remarkable Fossil Discovery at Otarawairere Ohope Beach

"Exploring the Castlecliffian Formation: The unconformity at Otarawairere and a Closer Look at the Rare Fossil Seal Lion Skull from New Zealand" and a huge thank you to the team at Tamaki Paenga Hira the Auckland War Memorial Museum for allowing us to visit and see this amazing fossil. A new species of sealion "Neophoca Palatina". The first of its kind to be described making this fossil a holotype. in 1937 a fossil skull was found at Otarawairere Beach, later donated to the Auckland Museum where it sat until 1985 where it was finally described and found to be a new species of sealion. While researching the Castlecilffian Formation that is evident in my local area I came across a paper describing this fossil. In the article, it stated that the fossil was housed in the Auckland Museum. Thinking how cool it would be to actually see it in person. This video is the result of that thought. https://ref.coastalrestorationtrust.o... #rockhound #thefinders #unconformity #NeophocaPalatina #fossilsOhope #NZFossils
