Mystery of Westhaven Inlet's human footpritnsGNS Science The 70-million-year-old dinosaur footprints in sandstone rock at Whanganui Inlet. Absolutely unique though is the 'Petrified man,' a skeleton found in Cavern Head on Preservation Island by Walter Traill of Stewart Island in 1877. Another similar mystery that has got me going is much closer to home, at Westhaven (Whanganui) Inlet on Golden Bay's western flank. "I noticed the perfect impressions of eight naked feet, plainly embedded, like fossils, in the solid sandstone rock, which must have been soft when the humans walked over it. A mystery these footprints might have to remain, but if anyone can help me I would be most grateful.
