Foulden Maar in Otago is a paleontological site of international importance, offering a window into our past through long-dead fish, flowers and insects. It's also a site of interest for a commercial mining company, which has gone into receivership, and the site is locked to the outside world and still has no legal protection. University of Otago scientist Daphne Lee has just published a new book called Fossil Treasures of Foulden Maar. It offers a much more positive perspective, introducing us to her passion for this extraordinary spot which was formed by a volcanic eruption some 23 million years ago and which preserves countless rare and well preserved fossils.
