Fig. 1: Estimates of New Zealand Tertiary temperatures in the latitude of Wellington based on the distribution of Amphistegina and other larger Foraminifera. From Arnold to Southland Series the estimated minimum temperature is based on the more or less continuous presence of Amphisfegina in Southland, allowing for a 2½°C difference for the latitude of Wellington. The estimated maximum temperature is based on the frequency and distribution of larger Foraminifera
