Palaeochannel.
On doing some research tonight, I discovered that there are also such things as palaeovalleys and palaeorivers!
Will wonders never cease?

The observations of an observant Southlander

Auckland is full of paleovalleys. All those volcanoes filled them up with lava.
Christchurch is full of paleochannels, too. They tended to fill up with silt, which was then prone to liquifaction.
You need to look out for paleo-things, they tend to bite you on the backside when you least expect it.
Knowing your whakapapa is, as you indicate, AC, vital.

Puna - spring/up-welling
Mokopuna - grandchild - that 'ripple' the shows on the surface of a spring
Knowing another language can increase your understanding of humankind.
