- Summary
- The stratigraphy and fossil fauna of a Pleistocene raised beach on the north-east coast of the South Island of New Zealand, first reported by McKay in 1877, are redescribed, and its place in Quaternary chronology discussed. The deposit is tentatively attributed to the Terangian Stage (penultimate interglacial), although it has an anomalous cool-climate facies.
