The river and its tributary streams, including Mangahouanga, flow through the Tahora Formation, and is a location where many Mesozoic fossils have been uncovered since the 1970s.[1] In 1999, palaeontologist Joan Wiffen discovered the vertebra bone of a titanosaur in a tributary of the Te Hoe River.[2]
