Abstract
Summary The stratigraphy and structure of the Flat Point area, eastern Wairarapa is described and illustrated by a map. Strata in upward succession are: Mokoiwian greywackes with spilites; Ngaterian to Piripauan graded-bedded sandstone, siltstone and conglomerate; Haumurian and Teurian brown siltstone with glauconitic sandstone; Lower Dannevirke limestone and greensand; Upper Dannevirke and Bortonian bentonitic siltstone and greensand; Pareora and Southland alternating sandstone and siltstone. Dolerite intrusions that cut Ngaterian and Raukumara strata have alkaline affinities and are co-magmatic with teschenites described to the north. The strata are strongly folded along north-north east fold axes, and are disrupted by parallel faults.
