EXCITED STUDENTS WANT A PALEO-CENTRE


EXCITED STUDENTS WANT A PALEO-CENTRE ...

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 site’s 350 million year old fossils and unique natural history. Fossil sites and lessons of ecology like Blue Beach raise an acute awareness of our sensitivity in the modern ecological world, and are thus important new direction.


FOSSILS HAVE OUTGROWN THEIR HOME
The large collection of fossils found at Blue Beach has revealed not only the footprints and bones of these early land animals, but also many of the creatures and plants that shared their environment, including a giant predatory fish that ambushed prey like a crocodile! The beautiful and dynamic Paleo-Centre will showcase for the world the incredible story of those first steps onto land, a story new to science! 

The uniqueness of this project is that it will feature not only one of the greatest chapters in animal evolution, but also its bold innovations in museum displays – including 3D art, 7D holographic projections, videos, and a variety of interactive displays, as well as cabinets full of fossils. Join us to be part of this exciting project!

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 ...

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...
