"MEDIA TALKS"

"Many of the fossils are embedded in hard rock and must be carefully removed using specialized engraving tools."


"The startling discoveries are receiving rave reviews amoung the world scientific community and are causing much of current paleontology theory to be re-written."


"The species, named Letognathus hardingi or "Jaws of Annihilation," was five metres long with large fangs rooted into the jawbone."



"Nova Scotia is blessed with thousands of tracks and is one of the best footprint areas in the world," Lucus said.

Canadian Fossils Have Outgrown Their Home

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

EXCITED STUDENTS WANT A PALEO-CENTRE ...         CHAMPION THIS  !!! CREATE A MONUMENT FOR CARBONIFEROUS MYSTERIES  BLUE BEACH, NOVA SCOTIA CANADA The Blue Beach Fossil Museum Society is working hard to build a new Paleo-Centre at world class fossil site, Blue Beach, Nova Scotia Canada. Hosting many students and visitors to this amazing shoreline, their vision for the centre is destined to represent an exciting brand in the world of education and science museums - we invite you to become a founding partner in this prestigious development. The Blue Beach fossil collection contains the oldest footprints on planet Earth! These discoveries, and others, shed light on one of the most important and vexing puzzles of evolution – the transition from water to land, from fish to amphibian.  THE EPIC DREAM Built along the shores of the Minas Basin, on the Bay of Fundy, this facility will also benefit the well-being of local residents and will continue to foster research to

The Word From Above

Blue Beach Receives Praise in Scientific Forums.... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ January, 19th 2007 To Whom It May Concern: I am writing today in recognition of Blue Beach (also known as Hortons Bluff), Nova Scotia, as one of the most important fossil localities in North America. As such, the conservation of its fossils, both found and waiting to be collected, is tantamount to ensure our better understanding of the animals that passed over the fish-tetrapod boundary. While dramatic, fully articulated skeletons haven’t (yet) been found, the vertebrate fossils of Blue Beach tell and interesting story. They represent the oldest fossils within the mysterious gap in the fossil record known as “Romer’s Gap”. Our emerging picture of the fauna from Blue Beach is one of transition; a Devonian-like form is present with classic Mississippian embolomeres, colosteids, and
