'Just where are these "closely spaced rock samples at carefully selected localities"'

There are many places in NZ that have complete profiles through the Late Cretaceous through the Early Tertiary. I presume the "carefully selected sites" included sites in some of those regions.

I can't believe you are so obtuse as to not understand why the sites are "carefully selected." It would hardly be worth their while to look at very shallow profiles. They would learn nothing from them during the early stages of their investigation.

If you are really serious about knowing where the actual sites are why don't you ask them? You should be easily able to find a contact for them on the net. I'll do it for you if you wish. I have found that scientists in NZ are more than happy to share their information. We live in a small country.

Besides you still haven't explained the "kinds" that you refer to so often.
