DISCOVERY: An artist's impression of newly found seabird fossil Australornis lovei, believed to be one of the oldest flying seabirds in the world.
Canterbury was home to one of the oldest flying seabirds, as discovered by fossil hunters from Canterbury Museum.
Dr Paul Scofield, from the Canterbury Museum, and Dr Gerald Mayr, from the Senckenberg Research Institute and Natural History Museum in Frankfurt, published their findings this week in the Journal of the Royal Society of New Zealand.
Bones of the previously unknown species were found in 2009 in Waipara by Leigh Love, an amateur fossil collector from the region.
He heads out most weekends to look for fossils, and anything he cannot identify he turns over to museum staff.
Though Scofield had the fossil early on, it sat unexamined for several years while work was disrupted by earthquakes.
Once he had a chance to come back to it, Scofield said it was obvious the fossil was something extraordinary.
The new species,Australornis lovei, was named in recognition of Love's role in its discovery.
Scofield said the bird was estimated to have lived between 60.5 and 61.6 million years ago, based on the age of the surrounding deposits.

PHOENIX -- A hefty hound who had some serious weight to lose now has a new "leash" on life.
"Chiquita" has not only shed her extra pounds and reached a healthy weight, but she has found a new home.
We first met Chiquita this summer. The three-year-old Welsh Corgi weighed 40 pounds when she arrived at the Arizona Humane Society in August. That's considered extremely obese.
"She could barely even walk around, let alone jump up on a sidewalk curb,"says Ashleigh Goebel of the Arizona Humane Society. "It was really sad to watch."
But thanks to the doggie diet and exercise program provided by her foster family, Chiquita has lost 16 pounds and is now showing off her canine curves. We're told her exercise program even contained water aerobics!
"She's been on a strict weight-loss program," says Goebel."It ended up being a tremendous success."

NASHVILLE As Americans reflect on the legacy of Martin Luther King Jr., an audiotape of an interview with the civil rights leader discovered in a Tennessee attic sheds new light on a famous phone call John F. Kennedy made to Kings wife more than 50 years ago.
Historians generally agree that Kennedys phone call to Coretta Scott King expressing concern over her husbands arrest in October 1960 and Robert Kennedys work behind the scenes to get King released helped JFK win the White House a month later.
King himself, while appreciative, wasnt as quick to credit the Kennedys alone with getting him out of jail, according to a previously unreleased portion of the interview with the civil rights leader days after Kennedys election.
The Kennedy family did have some part in the release, King says in the recording, which was discovered in 2012. But I must make it clear that many other forces worked to bring it about also.
A copy of the original recording will be played for visitors at the National Civil Rights Museum in Memphis, Tennessee, for a King Day event on Monday.
King was arrested a few weeks before the presidential election at an Atlanta sit-in. Charges were dropped, but King was held for allegedly violating probation for an earlier traffic offense and transferred to the Georgia State Prison in Reidsville, Georgia.
The Kennedys intervened, and King was released. Their intervention won the support of black voters who helped give Kennedy the winning edge in several key states.
Despite their help, however, King was careful not to give them too much credit.
I think Dr. King was aware in the tape that he probably did more for John F. Kennedy than perhaps John F. Kennedy did for him, said Keya Morgan, a New York-based collector and expert on historical artifacts. Morgan acquired the reel-to-reel audiotape from Chattanooga, Tennessee, resident Stephon Tull, who discovered it while cleaning out his fathers attic.
Raymond Winbush, director of the Institute for Urban Research at Marylands Morgan State University, said Kennedys call to Kings wife was political in nature because the Kennedys had been slow to get involved in the civil rights movement.

New Martin Luther King Jr. tape sheds light on JFK call
An expert sheds light on what polio virus found in the nations sewers means for the world

Public health advocates have long set their sights on wiping out polio worldwide, but recent resurgences of the pernicious disease raise questions about its future eradication.
Several months ago a wild strain of the virus surfaced in a sewer system in Rahat in southern Israel, and now it has reportedly been detected throughout the country. Israels government this week launched a nationwide vaccination campaign, attempting to inoculate all children under nine years of age with oral polio vaccine (OPV), a form of the vaccine containing a live, weakened form of the virus. Most of these children were already vaccinated as babies with inactivated polio vaccine (IPV), otherwise known as the dead-virus vaccine. But people who were injected with IPV can still be healthy carriers of the disease and shed the virus in feces.
Scientific American spoke with Bruce Aylward, assistant director general for Polio, Emergencies and Country Collaboration at the World Health Organization, to find out more about the situation in Israel and how recent events there are affecting global efforts to wipe out the disease.
[An edited transcript of the interview follows.]
What is happening in Israel right now? What we know is that there is widespread detection of a wild polio virus at a number of sites that we have sampled, going back three-plus months. This virus is very similar to a strain that was detected in December of last year in Egypt, in the sewage there. This original virus came from Pakistan. Whether it went into Egypt and then Israel or Israel and then Egypt or [whether it spread via] two separate importationsit is unclear.
The virus has only been found in sewage at this point. There have not been any clinical cases of this so far; no children have been paralyzed. In the past [Israel] has detected [polio] virus from surrounding countries and it has disappeared very quickly, but this time it is persisting for longer. The virus cant live in the sewage itself and multiply. What we are seeing is persistence of [people excreting] the virus.
How high is Israel's vaccination coverage? This is a country with quite high immunization coverageabout 94 percentage of coverage. Its with the inactivated virus, the dead-vaccine virus that Dr. [Jonas] Salk made in the 1950s (versus the live vaccine coverage that [Albert] Sabin developed, which we mainly use in the vaccination program). Since the kids dont have intestinal immunity, or not very much, the disease is managing to spread.
The reason the oral vaccination is used in the vaccine campaign is it provides intestinal immunity that is so crucial in stopping the person-to-person transmission spread in settings where you might have a high transmission rate of the viruslike in tropical areas or areas with suboptimal sanitation. For a long time in developed countries Sabins vaccine was the vaccine of choice, but the drawback was one in a million times a child can get the disease and get paralyzed. Its very rare, but its a risk.
