Moeraki Boulders
On the way back from Merrall's, I stopped at the Moeraki Boulders Scenic Reserve. Large, almost perfectly spherical boulders rest on a small stretch of seashore and they were quite the site. I've read that they "were formed on the sea bed 60 million years ago as lime salts gradually accumulated around a hard core." I don't know if I buy that explanation, but I have no better ideas of my own. I wonder how they explain the quartz veins in some of them?
