Moeraki boulders

Moeraki, South Island

60 million years ago mineral salts in the seabed accumulated around a core of shell, bone, or wood to form these curious and huge spherical stones on Koekohe Beach north of Dunedin

These are wonderful and a beautiful capture. I'm so surprized to see how much they are like the ones at Bowling Ball beach in Northern California, that I'd like to do something I almost never do, and include a link to show you... Hope you don't mind.
