We took a trip to Arisaig Provincial Park in Nova Scotia, a 20 minute drive from home.It's an interesting place with a maritime flair.
The rocks and fossils of Arisaig cliffs have been studied by geologists from around the world for over 150 years, and represent 40 million years of earth's history.
Brachiopods are the most common fossils at Arisaig, and were readily found by small fossil hunters.
It is not permitted to remove or disturb the fossils embedded in the cliffs, however the loose fossils on the beach may be collected at this time. We had a very successful fossil hunt:).

This looks wonderful and I want to take my own kids there. Why have I never heard of this Provincial Park? Thanks for pointing it out.

Loved the photo of the rock face with the water all blurry in the background.
