Hamish Campbell explores the coastal rocks beside Hotel Chatham, Chatham Island, New Zealand.
These rocks are rich in many fossil species that inhabited the slopes of a small submarine volcano centred on nearby Tikitiki Hill. Overlying the volcanic sediments is another much younger layer that you can see on the beach - this time from the Oruanui eruption of Taupo Volcano, 25,500 years ago.

You tell an awesomely interesting science story Hamish! I'm your old neighbour from across the road in Ngaio 14 years ago, and I still remember your cool explanation of the uplift layers out at Wellington Heads!

The way the man says "perhaps the volcano's off..to the west!" is one of the most genuine wholesome sounding things I've ever heard. He just sounds so happy.

Thank you for this video! As an expat kiwi living in Australia I really appreciate all these videos about our beautiful Aotearoa 😁

That's great, thanks for your comment

the Chattam islands are not part of Aotearoa , which is the NZ mainland & the homeland of Māori . Rekohu - Chattam islands is the homeland of Moriori , who are a different Polynesian people than Māori .

Wonderful to be able to reminisce about hearing all this first hand from Hamish while standing on Tikitiki Hill in 2022.

We love your wee bits of info, sometimes attenuated factoids are the best way to learn something since it makes you put the other random stuff you know together with them. Haven't seen any obvious Taupo ash in Dunedin but I thought a teeny bit might have made it here. Suppose you'd have to ID the individual units to tease out which was local and what wasn't. Wish you could hire a geologist for a day and make them explain each weird local feature!

That was an incredibly interesting lesson. Thank you so much for articulating and structuring this story so masterfully.

I would love to visit Tikitiki volcano & look around for hours. And days. Such a beautiful island.

@OutThereLearning 8 месяцев назад

Maybe one day...?

Volcanic islands and sea life sediments, interesting to See How the layers tells you the history of the island formation.

8 -10 inches over 500 miles away , that's a lot of dirt .

@OutThereLearning 8 месяцев назад

Indeed!

@CharlesSmith-zt7vt 8 месяцев назад

It feels incredibly recent really, and what an absolutely catastrophic event it must have been! Here's hoping that Taupō holds off on the next eruption for a while yet.

@user-mg2ip8cr8z 3 месяца назад

Its actually Waiteke not Waitangi , there's a video on u tube titled Chattam island filmed for the first time from1947 and they still used Waiteke then .Although Maori changed the name in the 1800s people must have still used the Moriori Waiteke up till 1947 at some stage between then and now it became only the Māori Waitangi .

How long has the gorse been there ?

@OutThereLearning 8 месяцев назад

Probably since early European settlement, mid 19th C

@HotelPapa100 8 месяцев назад

You are quite optimistic to assume that a few ten million years haven't changed the inclination of the layered rock. ;-)

@OutThereLearning 8 месяцев назад

That is an excellent point. The Chatham Islands have been remarkably stable, only slowly emerging from the sea over millions of years with little tilting. Similar age rocks in mainland New Zealand (at the plate boundary) are highly deformed.

Chathams islands looks like a cold place

@OutThereLearning 8 месяцев назад

Can be quite windswept!

@bazza945 8 месяцев назад

But it has two mushroom seasons per year. I lived there in 1968.

Thanks!

@outthere9370 7 месяцев назад

Excellent video. So this rock sediment came from where? Its not volcanic but has been eroded from where? Sounds like this volcano has "burst" through this layer?

@dba750 8 месяцев назад

I live in Canterbury, New Zealand, and i wish for cool nights and days for the next 6 months. Or swap houses with someone in the northern hemisphere who like desert conditions permanently, I've got the perfect house swap with me

@simongregory3114 8 месяцев назад

It was a warm evening last night when you wrote this, but we've only had about 3 or so of them this spring or summer. Cool nights nearly always, and cool days quite frequently are what we have! Where in Canterbury do you experience permanent desert conditions? Sounds implausible to me, a central CHCH dweller.

I want a box of the marine sediments with 50 million year old fossils. How much is it a kilogram? Can I buy 3 kilograms? Do you ship to America? That’s so interesting! I would have liked to hear how the underwater volcano rose so high.

@kiwidonkeyk1656 8 месяцев назад

What will you do with it?
