Then you've come to the right place. This forest is, believe it or not, over 170 million years old. Dinosaurs lived here and probably ate the leaves off the trees: the fossilized forest of Curio Bay. Dating back to the Jurassic period, this subtropical forest is the geological treasure of the Catlins Coast in the south of New Zealand's South Island and offers a unique journey into the past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unassigned, unpaid advertising.

At that time, the current location was close to Antarctica and the continents were still part of the supercontinent Gondwana. The forest consisted of primeval conifers, ferns and palm-like plants. These plants grew in a swampy, volcanically active area.
