    "KEY POINTS
    • Basalts and pebbly to cobbly sandstones have been dredged from the Fairway Ridge, Coral Sea
    • Dating of the rocks and interpretation of magnetic anomalies allow mapping of major geological units across North Zealandia
    • This work completes offshore reconnaissance geological mapping of the entire 5 million square km Zealandia continent…”
