The Rocks of Titahi Bay, Wellington 

I have run out of superlatives to describe the information delivered in these superb video's given freely to those interested in Beautiful intriguing New Zealand, Kia Ora 'Out There Learning'. Stay well stay safe.

Coming from Tbay i can only think of the wonderful learning opportunities missed at school if we had only been taught more about our wonderful environment

Great stuff Julian. We chatted about video on the beach the day you were filming and the stuff you shared has changed our view of this beach every day when we walk it. As you said some days they are buried, others they stick out easy to see. Amazing to know we are looking at 100k old salt preserved wood! Keep on producing!

Very cool Sir! Thank you bringing this information to us. Thank you for the hard work all this entailed. Best Regards and Best Wishes!

Enjoyed your video. Your enthusiasm for geology is evident.

The honeycombing was fantastic. Thanks.

That was great! I could listen to this kind of thing all day. Well explained, too.

Great ! I'm discovering geology channels. Many thanks for the videos.

Really interesting. I never knew that two of the layers formed at the same time, that they are a pair created by the difference in courseness of the sediment. I always assumed that each layer represented one time period.

Thanks for sharing your knowledge, I wonder in fact how many people where unaware of this History ?? It points out with the facts of how long it’s been there, we as Humans are hear for such a nano second. My brother and Wife , with family live there, so I hope They enjoy it as much as myself ❤️☮️ fifi

Several questions answered, many thanks.

OK, you got me: I’m binge watching 😂

So pleased to have found you, so interesting !! Lovely NZ, so much to see! Cheers for all your videos

Wonderful places ,excellent explanation! Thank you

I like this kind of stuff.

Very good presentation. Very interesting. Thank you. :)

I love you're videos , thank you

Went out there today at low tide and saw the trees! I couldn't go all the way around the point though (had my husband with me who isn't able to walk that far), but I will do in the future. Merry Xmas guys!

I’ve really enjoyed this series of videos, learn something new every time All the best Jules

Great videos - Titahi Bay is an awesome location (I'm from Porirua so this is basically in my backyard) I've never really viewed it from a Geological sense so this was very educational. Pukerua Bay further north around the coast from there shows many similar features. Once you meet Paekakariki the rocky coast stops entirely.

Enjoyed!

You are such a great Geology teacher. I hope to meet you one day! Thank you for keeping me sustained with your videos haha

Really enjoyed that, spent the first 18 years of my life there so quite familiar with the formations, actually studied geology 101 at victoria now at 66 it all falls into place ... life long learning? Cheers.

This is a great series. Thank you.

My old play ground as a kid :)

Thanks for this.. there is a blue sign that mentions this stuff in the nearby car park, 👍

Best bay. Thankyou.

You can also see this on the SouthCoast from Baring Head to Sinclair with some extra features. [Pillow Lava, uplift and wave cut cliff edge]

All this and more along the Wainui to Eastbourne coast...... access a little harder, but drone pics of the raised beaches would be great, and the cut off lakes.... More please.

Yay, another geology channel!

Incredible stuff. Inspired, will go and check them ASAP with kids.

Great job, like the NZ equivalent of Nick Zenttner in Washington.

Just discovered this channel today and I'm loving it. I think the algorithm is delivering the goods

Ace the Sydney sausage Great video! We live Right above the bay with the caves And look down onto them and have always been fascinated by the unique geology .You got a nice shot of our house on the cliff edge At the end :)

very cool geology, & description/explanation of the processes. my only quibble; i'da thought those tubidites wooda resulted from seasonal hurricanes etc, & much oftener then once a century. wish i could afford to go there & see those rocks firsthand.

I had always assumed those trees had washed up on the beach at some point and been buried, I had no idea it was a fossilised forest. Where exactly is it the sea cave you walked through? I'd like to take a look myself next time I'm there.

how interesting.

Very interesting! Mother nature is incredible. I really enjoy watching your videos.

Fantastic video! Beautifully, clearly explained history of the land, thank you so much for sharing, especially for those of us also on the pacific rim but far away (Oakland, California). Many of the phenomena you describe are familiar to the California coast as well, nice to see our Pacific ocean cousins on the other side enjoying it too. I am curious how many other natural features we have in common. Are they any forests in New Zealand whose only water source is ocean fog? Our redwoods don't get much rain - they depend entirely on the fog.

Great!

So good ideas ideals place for electricity production

Love Titahi Bay, spent all of my childhood summer holidays there. When we think about the curved formation at 5.31, surely this bend has to represent a chaotic sequence of layering where the deposit was rippled when the entire composite was in a slurry state? From memory, there’s no gap in between the layers. If there were copious gaps throughout the strata it would suggest to my basic understanding of geology that the uplifts had sporadically occurred over a prolonged period of time. But as there are no gaps….how to multiple layers of solid state rock bend?

Thank you very much for sharing this spectacular video!! A calming watch, very informative, beautiful videography. These dynamics make me think there would be lots of serpentinite around New Zealand's southern coast, is that so? Here in California there's tons of serpentinite, and a lot of it contains veins of jade. very pretty, but tough on agriculture.

Very interesting. But I had to google it to find out it's located in New Zealand.

Great video. And, I never knew that it is called *honeycomb weathering* @4:30 and I believed it was man made (when I saw one on Sydney beaches)...like some artist made it from metal that eroded. As the shapes were too geometrical to be natural. Thanks.

Thanks for the interesting geology tour. But why millions of years which should, but does not show erosion between layers?

Wondering if anyone can explain why the ancient tree forest are the only fossils in Titahi Bay . There seems to be nothing in those layered bands of sandstone and silt stone?

Wherever wellington is ok i will look it up mr narrative 🤓

that proses on the rock is from electric in the earth have you seen the pictures made with electric

Have the species of the tree stumps been identified?

Just want to point out Titahi Bay is not on the Kapiti Coast ;)

Is it really a cave and not a tunnel?

Interesting video, but you need to make a note that Titahi Bay is in Porirua, not the Kapiti Coast

Geologists only talk and think in millions of years. They have different methods for determining the age of rock layers. However, there is one small problem. Ancient books tell us that a cycle of natural disasters threatens the earth and all living things. The cause of this cycle of disasters is a ninth planet in our solar system orbiting the sun in an eccentric orbit. Features of the natural disaster include a massive tidal wave, higher than the highest mountain, flooding, storms, rain, volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, and a fiery asteroid bombardment. That planet is surrounded by a gigantic twisting cloud of dust and meteorites. That cloud obscures the atmosphere, pollutes the water and covers the whole planet Earth with that dust. At the end of the crossing of this planet 9, the earth is covered with a horizontal layer of wet mud, a mixture of sand, clay, lime, fossils of sea and land animals, shells and the deposit of that dust cloud and asteroids. So every layer on our planet contains material with the same antiquity, perhaps many millions of years old: the deposit of extraterrestrial clay. If you don't know about this cycle, you have no idea how our history has evolved. To learn much more about planet 9, the recurring flood cycle and its timeline, the re-creation of civilizations and ancient high technology, read the e-book: "Planet 9 = Nibiru". It can be read on any computer, tablet or smartphone. Search: invisible nibiru 9

Giant trees?

The music is very distracting at the beginning of this video, glad you turned it off

Music way too loud; very distracting. : - ((( BYE
