The
Moeraki Boulders, a collection of large spherical rocks, lie on the
Koekohe Beach on the South Island of New Zealand. The origin of these
stones has been around 60 million years ago. Animal and plant remnants
sank on the shallow seabed and sediments attached to them over millions
of years. Cracks that formed through the tidal changes over the years
were refilled with new sediments and formed the remarkable lines in the
stone spheres. |
