the tail bone of a theropod dinosaur.


Her later finds included bones from a


hypsilophodon, a pterosaur, an ankylosaur,


mosasaurs and plesiosaurs. She has a brother named Joseph.Joan Wiffen was a self-taught

a Hawkes Bay housewife in fact, with no scientific


training,


just a great deal of curiosity’, made some of New Zealand’s

Bay valley produced the first evidence


that dinosaurs had once lived on the New Zealand landmass.

What is Matariki the Māori New Year?

Matariki is the Māori name for a group

of seven stars known as the Pleiades star cluster.

Some people think of Matariki as a mother

star with six daughters, and it is often

referred to as the Seven Sisters.

Others think that Matariki are the ‘eyes of the god’.

When Ranginui, the sky father, and Papatūānuku,

the earth mother, were separated by their children the god of wind,

Tāwhirimātea, became angry, tearing Matariki has

two meanings, both of which refer to the cluster of stars.

Matariki means Tiny Eyes, and Mata Ariki means Eyes of God.

Matariki appears in the eastern sky sometime

around the shortest day of the year, and is

thought to determine how successful the

harvest crop will be in the coming season.

The brighter the stars, the more productive the crop will be.

They have three names that are

chimaeras, spookfish and ghost sharks.

they have a poisonous spain and they

have smooth skin with no scales.

Chimaeras are sometimes

called ghost sharks or ratfish.

cartilage instead of bone.
