Joggins Fossil Cliffs- Atlantic Geoscience Society

Explore the Joggins fossil cliffs, Nova Scotia. Step back 315 million years to a time when giant dragonfly-like insects flew amongst the 30 metre tall lycopsid trees, and the world's earliest- known reptile, Hylonomus lyelli , roamed. Ferns and giant horsetails grew in a warm, humid environment, home to the giant millipede, Arthropleura, as well as fish and early amphibians. Join Brian Hebert as he leads this virtual tour of the UNESCO World Heritage Site to discover why leading scientists, both past and present, have studied this fascinating place. “Coal Age Galapagos” by Dr. John H.
