Over 200 Fossils Added to Collection!

Over 200 Joggins fossils, including trackways, animal remains and plants (such as the Sigillaria tree stump pictured above), have come home to the Joggins Fossil Centre's Collection Room. All these specimens were collected over many years by Matt Stimson under the Province's Heritage Research Permit system and we are happy to now house these fossils for others to enjoy and perform research on.

The Joggins Fossil Centre's 3rd Annual Halloween Party

We had about 30 children dressed in their best Halloween costumes at the Centre for fun games and prizes as part of our annual Halloween Party on Sunday. The children had fun painting their own Halloween fossil casts and partaking in our gallery scavenger hunt. We were also amazed at the children’s green thumbs for growing white “Earth Day” pumpkins. Some of them were over 75lbs! Here’s one of the pumpkin farmers:

We'll see you all next year for the Joggins Fossil Centre's 4th Annual Halloween Party.
