Joggins Fossil Cliffs - Are you a fan yet?

Firstly back to our stigmaria root. IF (and it is a big if) this root falls from the cliff in one piece then it will certainly be the largest specimen we have in our collection. Others have been found in the past, which outrun this one in length but retaining them in one piece is almost impossible due to the fragile and brittle nature of the fossils. We shall be watching it closely though.

Have you been on Facebook recently? If you haven't then you won't know that you can become a fan of the Joggins Fossil Cliffs. In fact, since we signed up three days ago we already have 155 fans. If we keep this up we will have 20,000 fans by this time next year.

Facebook is a great way to enter discussions and debates and to virtually meet with other visitors and fans. If you haven't become a fan yet why not sign up and see what all of the fuss is about.

Forms of social media such as Facebook, Twitter and even this blog are an important resource for organisations such as the Joggins Fossil Institute to be able to keep visitors and researchers as current as possible with discoveries, events and news from the site. We hope that you find it useful and if you aren't already following this blog why not start following it today. All you need is a current email address and you can make comment or post how your visit went.

Oh and if when you arrive at our admissions desk and mention that you are a facebook friend, we will give you $1.00 off your admission fee and 5% discount off any gift shop purchases. Now we can't say fairer than that can we? *

Watch this space for news on our upcoming quilting exhibition and Mother's Day Brunch.
