This family snapshot shows a boy named Malcolm Simpson (Jenuary 1948). He was 14 years old and attending Nelson College (Nelson, New Zealand). Nelson College on South Island was a secomdary school which still is in operation. Malcomb looks to be wearing his school unifoirm. He joined an excursion to the nearby Cobb valley. The Cobb Valley region is a popular recreational area. It is very popular for hiking and camping with hiketrs and other naturalists. There is beautiful mountain and bush scenery as well as very interesting flora and geological formations to observe. Malcomb while on one of those excursions found a limestone formation containing fossils (January 14). He showed it to Professor Noel Benson. He later idenyified the fossils as dating to the Cambrian period. The rock is the oldest yet found in New Zealand.
