- Pyramid_Valley abstract "Pyramid Valley is a limestone rock formation near Waikari in the North Canterbury region of New Zealand. It lies 80 km north-west of Christchurch. On the foot of the valley is a swamp which became notable in 1939 as New Zealand's largest paleontological site for moa fossils. In 1938 the landowners Joseph and Rob Hodgen found three large bones of Dinornis giganteus while they buried a dead horse in the swamp. They opened this area for excavations and in the early 1940s fossil hunters like Robert Alexander Falla, Roger Duff, Robert Cushman Murphy, Jim Eyles, Ron Scarlett and many others began their research work at this site and unearthed the remains of long extinct birds including more than 183 complete moa skeletons and tens of thousands of fossil bone fragments from about 46 species of Modern birds. The swamp was formed around 18,000 BC and became drained c. 2,000 years ago. It provided a lush vegetation which attracted five different moa species. Pyramid Valley is also well known for its biodynamic award-winning vineyards where Pinot Noir and Chardonnay are produced. The Pyramid Valley Winery is run by Mike and Claudia Weersing and specialises in high density low cropped Burgundian grapes from their Angel Flower, Earth Smoke and Lion's Tooth vineyards. They also vinify other varietals from around New Zealand for their Growers Collection including Riesling, Cabernet Franc, Chenin Blanc and Semillon.[citation needed]".
