The Teurian (Paleocene) sequence at Te Kaukau Point, southeast Wairarapa, includes light green-grey, indurated, burrowed, slightly sandy calcilutite. These rocks are interbedded with laminated sandstone, mudstone, and siliceous limestone lithotypes, all of which are cut by intrusive sandstone. A variety of sedimentary structures, including burrows, indicate that the laminated sandstone was deposited conformably within the limestone sequence and is regarded as a turbidity current deposit, which later became overpressured to produce the intrusive sandstone.
