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.
