FOSSIL EXHIBITION TO TOUR NZ FROM OCTOBER 2007
A major exhibition on fossils is set to tour museums in New Zealand from October this year. Called NZ Fossils: Dead Precious! it showcases New Zealand fossils as indicators and predictors of things such as climate-change, evolution, and oil and gas deposits.
The exhibition includes rare fossils from the extensive collections of GNS Science and Otago University. Some of them will be seen publicly for the first time. GNS Science owns the exhibition and Shell NZ is the main sponsor. The exhibition opens at Puke Ariki in New Plymouth in late October.
