The whale fossil believed to be about 23 million years old was taken from Little Wanganui beach over Labour Weekend. Police are still investigating and no charges have been laid. But the fossil's disappearance upset some locals who have visited the site for generations and sparked an ownership debate. Local resident Tom Horncastle wants the fossil returned to its original spot.
