Abstract
Summary In a small area at the southern end of Bluff Harbour, which has been explored by submarine drilling, a thin sequence of moderately compacted late Tertiary terrestrial and estuarine beds rests on a basement of Paleozoic intrusive and metamorphic rocks, and is overlain by uncompacted Recent estuarine sands. The basement rocks are decomposed to a depth of 45 It beneath the Tertiary beds which also have undergone a similar type of decomposition with leaching. The Tertiary beds are Taranakian or lower Wanganui in age (upper Miocene to Pliocene).
