Abstract

Fossil bones of a new genus and species of rail (Aves: Rallidae) are described from one million year old shoreline deposits near Marton, North Island, New Zealand. Associated bones indicate the presence of a specifically indeterminate rail, an indeterminate avian species, and a moa (Aves: Dinornithiformes). These are the first described fossil terrestrial carinates from deposits older than 100,000 years in New Zealand.
