Not much of a story, but I thought I'd record it anyway - this is the place that really got me started - in these rocks I found a bone, and a contact at the Canterbury Museum identified it as a whale rib - at least 12mya.
From there I was hooked and that was 10 years ago. We dont come out here much, last time tinbum broke the powersteering on my 4wd doing doughnuts on the beach when he was 10 LOL.
This is Pegasus bay, and Amberley rocks is the North end, the other is in Christchurch.
Anyway - into the shell layers..
