Many areas in the Maritime provinces are rich in fossilized plants, insects, and animals. With their complicated geological history Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and Prince Edward Island were ideal locations for fossils to form. This short book shows what fossils can be found in each region and how to identify individual specimens. Author Jeff C. Domm explains what can and cannot be done when you find a fossil or artifact. He indicates areas where important discoveries have been found, such as Joggins, Nova Scotia where the world's oldest fossilized reptile was discovered, and explains why these special places are protected. This affordable, easy to use guide is a perfect companion on beach walks and nature trails in the Maritimes.
