The Cliffs of Fundy and the Dawn of The Jurassic Episode 1: The Story in the Rocks

The earliest rocks at Wasson Bluff are from the Carboniferous period, 300 million years ago, but this episode’s main focus is on the Triassic basalt formed from lava that erupted 201 million years ago and on the early Jurassic sedimentary rocks above the grey basalt, representing lake and river beds, and sand dunes 200 million years old. These rocks were deformed by faulting during the early Cretaceous period 125 million years ago. And the land continues to be shaped by weathering and erosion. Join geoscientists Caleb Grant, Bob Grantham, Howard Donohoe, and David Piper as they share the fascinating geological story of the area.
