Fossil Excavation



The Joggins Fossil Institute recently sent a team to the beach to recover a tree which had been exposed from the exterior of the cliffs. The tree was brought to the Joggins Fossil Center, and is currently being examined in the facility's laboratory.


We would also like to send out thanks to all those community volunteers involved in transporting the two fossils, each weighing around 400 lbs, as it would not have been possible without them!!

Make sure to check back soon to see if we find anything!!
