Joggins well-represented at the Atlantic Geoscience Society’s (AGS) annual Colloquium!

Held this past weekend (Feb 3-5) in Moncton, the AGS Colloquium featured a special session on Paleontology in Atlantic Canada, organised by Deborah Skilliter (Curator of Geology, Nova Scotia Museum) and Melissa Grey (Joggins Fossil Institute). There were many excellent talks on research from around the Atlantic provinces, including three that featured research at the Joggins Fossil Cliffs. Zabrina Prescott, a Master’s student at Dalhousie University studying fossilised microbial mats at Joggins, won the “Sandra Barr Award for Best Graduate Oral Presentation” – congratulations Zabrina!
