Uncovered: The secrets of the Kyeburn Moa

Four years ago Ranfurly local Michael Johnston was walking his dog by the Kyeburn river, when he spied something in the water. Closer investigation revealed a set of fossilied Moa footprints. The first prints discovered on the South Island. Questions abounded - what kind of Moa was it? what did it look like? And just how long ago, did it leave its now famous footprints? The answers can finally be found in a new reasearch paper published this afternoon in the "Journal of the Royal Society of New Zealand". Author of that paper and curatio of natural science at Tuhura Otago Museum Kane Fleury joins Mark.
