Joggins fossil beach is a UNESCO world heritage site. Its got one of the greatest concentrations of fossils in the world. You can walk down the beach, and find them every few paces. Its also on the Bay of Fundy. The water level rises and falls 30 feet between low and high tide. We arrived as the tide was going out, and by the time we left at low tide there was far more beach visible.
Cottage on the bluffs.
Shortly after we arrived, the tide still fairly high.
You can see the different high tide marks. The loose rock just below the bluffs was the best place to look for fossil rocks.
Later in the day, the tide nearly at low, there was far more beach.
Like someone took a giant cleaver to the rock.
Can you spot the fossilized tree trunk in the rock?
