13SCI MAORI BAY / MURIWAI GEOLOGY TRIP

Acting Deputy Principal
On Thursday, two 13SCI classes of geologists went on a trip to Maori Bay at Muriwai. Geologists search for clues hidden in the rocks to solve very complicated puzzles. Students identified different rock layers and interpreted trace fossils left behind by ancient worms living on the ocean floor. The pillow lavas present also gave evidence for a large offshore volcano some 20-15 million years ago. Students greatly enjoyed the challenge of carrying out research in the hope of placing the final pieces of the puzzle together.
