Canadian Fossils Have Outgrown Their Home Let's Build a 'Paleo-Centre' A ‘One-of-a-kind’ Collection - 350 mya Lower Carboniferous Fossil Evidence ‘Evolution’s Greatest Mystery’ Rendition for the 'new' Blue Beach Fossil Museum, Nova Scotia Canada. Blue Beach, Nova Scotia Canada is internationally acknowledged by todays leading researchers as the oldest fossil site in the world showing evidence of the first 4-legged, terrestrial air-breathing creatures to move from water on to land: the tetrapods. The first discovery of the 350 million year old fossil vertebrate footprint evidence at Horton Bluff (Blue Beach) was by Sir William Logan in 1841. Much later, in the 1940’s and 1950’s a researcher from Harvard (Dr. Alfred Romer) looked for evidence of these primitive land-animals and instead found  a ‘gap’ that spanned the first 30-million years of the Carboniferous Period (360 million years ago, a time ...

Birthplace of Vertebrate Paleontology in Canada

Pioneer's of Life on Land & The Tetrapod's at Blue Beach, Nova Scotia Canada The birth of ‘vertebrate paleontology in Canada’ took place one fine day in 1841, and it happened at Blue Beach, Nova Scotia (then known as Hortons Bluff ). Sir William Logan discovered fossilized footprints of the first creatures, ever, to swim out of the water and walk on land, the tetrapods . These Lower Carboniferous creatures were the first air breathers of the coal-period. Logan, a Scottish-Canadian geologist, was born April 20 1798 in Montreal and as a young boy his family moved back to Edinburgh, Scotland where he got his education. He never forgot of his childhood in Canada and dreamed of returning one day. Later, as a young man, he did returned to Canada and in 1842 was asked to establish, and became the first Director of the Geological Society of Canada and carried on as Director until 1869. Sir William Logan In various works between 1...
