Ke'ōlelo nei lākou ua laweʻia lākou i ke kai e nā akua - pēlā keʻano o kaʻikeʻana o nā kamaaina maoli o New Zealand i ka poʻe malihini makamae, i kahi iʻikeʻia ai nā waʻa Moeraki. ʻOiai,ʻaʻohe mea ola e hiki ke hoʻololi iā lākou. ʻOiaʻiʻo, ua hanaʻia lākou e ka makuahine?
Ka moʻaukala o ka mea i hiki
Manaʻo nā kānakaʻepekema ua kū kēia mau pōhaku i ka manawa Cenozoic, ka wā Paleocene (66-56 miliona makahiki i hala). ʻO ka hapa nui o nā pōhaku i hoʻonohonohoʻia ma ka moana a me ka ulu. Hōʻike kēia i ka noʻonoʻoʻana i ka hoʻohuiʻana o nā pōleʻa: aia kekahi o nā isotopes o oxygen, magnesium, hao, a me ka carbon.
ʻO ka mea eʻike ai i New Zealand, pēlā nō ia ma nā pōhaku o Moeraki
Aia nā pōhaku nui ma kahi kahakai o Koehoe, aia ma waena o nā kauhale o Hempden a me Moeraki. Kāheaʻia kēia mau pōkā pōhaku ma ka mahaloʻana i ka lawaiʻaʻo Moeraki.
He mea hauʻoli ma ka kahakai hiki iāʻoe ke hele i kahi nui (e pili ana paha i 100) o nā pōhaku. ʻO kēia mau pōleʻele hilahilaʻole aia ma kahi kahakai, he 350 m ka lōʻihi. He hapa kekahi ma kahi one, he hapa - i ke kai, kahi iʻikeʻia ai ke koena o nā pōhaku mahele.
ʻO ke anawaena o kēlā pōhaku kēia pōhaku heʻokoʻa kēlā me kēia: mai ka 0.5 m a 2.5 m. Ma keʻanoʻole, he nani keʻokeʻo kekahi o kekahi, aʻo kekahi'ē aʻe i uhiʻia i nāʻano likeʻole e like me ka pūpū o kahi puaʻa kahiko.
ʻOiaʻiʻo, ua hoʻokipa kēia nani a loaʻa i ka manaʻo o nā meaʻepekema. Eia kekahi laʻana, ua aʻoʻia nā pōhaku me ke kōkuaʻana o nā microscopes kelepona umauma, a me nā kukui X. Ua hōʻikeʻia iā lākou he lepo a me ka lepo, e pili ana i ka calcite, a mai ke one. No ke kūlana o ke kāpiliʻana, hiki paha i kekahi nāwaliwali, a ma kekahi mau mea e hiki ai i kahi mana waho. Ke heluʻia nei kaʻilikai.
Aʻo ka meaʻepekema mua loa i makemake i kēia maka'āinana kupanaha o New Zealand a liloʻo Volter Mantell. E hoʻomaka ana i ka makahiki 1848, ua aʻo nuiʻo ia iā lākou, e hui pū me ia i nā mea noiʻi a me nā mea hou aku, mahaloʻia e ka honua a pau e pili ana i nā pōpō Moikaak. I kēia lā,ʻo kahi o 100,000 mau mākaʻikaʻi e hele i kēia kahakai i kēlā me kēia makahiki eʻike i nā pōhaku pilikino.
Pehea e hiki ai i laila?
Kū mākou i ka moku o'Otago ma kahi kaʻahana kūikawā a ma kahi kaʻahua No. 19, 21, 50 aʻo ke poʻo i ke kahakaiʻo Koehohe.
