“The Vanished World Centre has interpretive displays including unique world-class fossils - whales, dolphins, penguins, sharks and many shellfish, with a trail introducing some key geological localities in North Otago.”
The Vanished World Centre at Duntroon is the heart of the Vanished World Trail with displays that help explain and interpret the fossils, rocks, localities and landforms along the trail. Visitors wishing to participate in the fossil heritage of the Waitaki are able to gain a greater appreciation of the unique nature of the area by viewing these displays. Specimens are mostly from within a 20km radius of the village of Duntroon The fossils-whales, dolphins and invertebrates,reveal the marine ecosystems of the Oligocene time some 20-30 million years ago.
