Day 5 & 6: Urenui and Kiore Formations
Modified from King et al. (1993)
The majority of Urenui Formation outcrops are bioturbated siltstone with
tubular concretions
The purpose of this study is to provide a detailed documentation of the outcropping Urenui and Kiore
formations and interpret influences on channel formation and fill.

Urenui – Mount Messenger Contact
The MMF and UF have been interpreted as a continuous sequence, but a large erosional contact exists in the coastal section. This erosional contact may
correspond to the large MTD interval in the offshore seismic data.
