Numerous early Pleistocene silicic tephras are exposed in long sedimentary sequences in the East Coast and Wanganui basin regions in southern North Island of New Zealand, some 150-250 km south of the Taupo Volcanic Zone. They provide time planes that can be correlated between different facies and ba...
