It contains diatoms and radiolarians. There is some evidence of theoccurrence of two beds of siliceous sandstone separated by tuffs, but this is not quitecertain, as the scarp-face is obscured by a slope deposit in which blocks of Oamarustone, diatomaceous earth, siliceous sandstone, and tuff are intermingled. The sand.stoneseems to consist of fine quartzose sand cemented by the infiltration of siliceous waters.It contai

According to the field evidence there is a well-markedstratigraphical unconformity at this place, but, as suggested above, it may be due tosome local volcanic happening. The conglomerate lying between the greensands and the Deborah (Kakanui) limestoneis a fairly constant member, being strongly developed at Deborah (Fig. 20), near theArdgowan Creamery at the junction of Grants and Oamaru creeks, at HutchinsonsQuarry, along Target Gully, a

The unbroken line of high perpendicular sea-cliffs between Boatmans Harbourand Cape Wanbrow runs almost at right angles to the strike of the rocks, andpresents the most complete section of the Waiarekan succession to be found anywherein the Oamaru district (see Plate II). From the breakwater to Boatmans Harbour, a distance of 270 yards, the cliffsare composed of tachylitic breccia with a hard limestone matrix. At BoatmansHarbour the tachylitic breccia is underla

Section at Hulchinsotis old Quarry, Lower End of Target Gldly, Oamaru. Though an isolated outcrop, this old quarry has figured .so largely in the geologicalliterature of Otago that it has become classical. Here an unknown thickness of tuflfsis succeeded by an impure limestone consisting of irregular layers of pure fine-grainedlimestone separated by layers of tufi. Overlying the limestone comes a thick bed ofbasaltic conglomerate, an

This section has already been described (page 16), and the relationship of theOtotaran to the Hutchinsonian illustrated by Fig. 15. The actual contact of the greensands and the hard semi-crystalline limestone bandwhich covers the Oamaru stone is obscured by blark soil and grass. Though thereseems to be no conglomerate bed at the ba.se of the greensands, it is quite certainfrom what can be seen that the upper surface of the hard limestone i

RM2AFWN1P–. The geology of the Oamaru district, North Otago (Eastern Otago division). The limestone is in places so fine-grained as to resemblelithographic stone. It contains fossils, but no recognizable forms could be extracted,on account of the hardness and shattered condition of tlic rock. The strike of the beds, so far as can be judged from the short exposure (Plate X),is about north-west - south-east. The dip is about north-east (true), at angles varyingfrom 12° to 17°. The conglomerate is about 8 ft. thick, and consists of rounded and semi-roundedpebbles of basalt set in a calcareous tuff matrix.
