Carl Posted July 9 Share Posted July 9 Our third trip to Nova Scotia may have been the most exhilarating! My wife and I were up there last month for our 25th and we targeted a beach that hinted at riches I'd not net become familiar with: Carboniferous trackways. A decade ago, we were shown this beach and its Carboniferous plants, fossils that are common in the Province and for what it is duly famous. At the end of our fossil walk we found some slabs with arthropod tracks and a possible poor vertebrate trackway. Needless to say, I was itching to hit this beach again. Our recent trip allowed 4 separate days of collecting there and they just got better and better. The rockfalls produced many and varied arthropod tracks and a few vertebrate tracks, too. And all I found on the last hunt was an awesome tetrapod trackway with a tail drag mark. Can't wait to get back! *** A word of warning: Removing fossils of any kind from Nova Scotia is ILLEGAL! *** *** All of our fossils are now in the collections of the Nova Scotia Museum. 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
