Stratigraphy lesson at Kaikoura Peninsula, New Zealand

Group of fur seal students having good rest at Point Kean, the easternmost point of Kaikoura Peninsula, after a lesson focusing on the beautiful folded limestone Spyglass Formation (mid to late Oligocene). For more information on this spectacular formation, see Rattenbury et al. (2006).
