Extract

The theory of a Cretaceo-Tertiary succession in New Zealand was first formulated by Captain Hutton in the early seventies mainly on the evidence of the Waipara sections in North Canterbury, where there appeared to be an unbroken succession from the Cretaceous into the Lower Tertiary. He correlated the Weka Pass Stone with the Ototara Stone, and in the main his views were adopted by Sir James Hector and the Geological Survey.
