Moa Footprints and Bones Found in New Zealand

[Gareth_]

Not quite a fossil but so interesting this is worth a mention. Absolutely incredible these prints and bones have survived! (check the last pic for the bones)

Moa are extinct ratites and were endemic to New Zealand, a couple of species were some of the largest birds to have ever existed standing at about 3.6m tall and weighing an estimated 230kg.
