Here are some more pictures from the jaunt I made with the Irene and Hugh. Here we are at Joggins, an UNESCO World Heritage Site. It has a magnificent visitor's centre and the fossils are there on the beach for everyone to see. The cliffs erode each year so something new is always appearing. So we spent lots of time on the shore on our private fossil hunt.
This is well worth the trip and I'm thrilled that I went and also that I had such keen companions. Anyway, go to Joggins. You may have never heard of it, but Google it. It is off the beaten track. There is actually few amenities in the village, but the centre serves meals. http://jogginsfossilcliffs.net/
Its importance is that this is where they found the "missing link", the precursor to the dinosaurs and to the lizards. It lies at the junction between North America and Africa when they jammed together.
