Joggins Fossil Cliffs, Paleontological heritage site in Cumberland County, Canada.
The cliffs extend for 15 kilometers along the Bay of Fundy coastline, revealing layers of sedimentary rock formations containing numerous fossils.
Scientists from the 1800s, including Sir Charles Lyell, documented the extensive collection of plant and animal fossils preserved in these coastal rock formations.
The Joggins Fossil Centre presents exhibitions about local geological discoveries and maintains research facilities for international scientific investigations.
The interpretive center provides guided tours of the cliffs, where visitors can examine fossilized remains within exposed rock layers during low tide periods.
The cliffs contain the most complete known fossil record of terrestrial life from the Pennsylvanian period, including early reptiles and carboniferous rainforest specimens.
