Abstract
A stratigraphic column showing relative lengths of the Tertiary series and stages of New Zealand is presented. Estimates of the relative durations were derived through comparisons of estimates made by five leading New Zealand paleontologist-stratigraphers based upon their concepts of evolutionary changes, thickness of sedimentary sections, and distribution of rock units.Keywords
