Extract
M. S. Pole comments: In a recent paper Landis et al. (2008) propose that New Zealand was completely submerged in the Late Oligocene–earliest Miocene and therefore, its distinctive terrestrial biota must date from after that time. They propose this based on an analysis of the sedimentological, geomorphological and palaeontological record.
