Joggins Fossil Cliffs

Joggins Fossil Cliffs, a UNESCO World Heritage site in Canada, are a 300-million-year-old coastal treasure from the Carboniferous period. Renowned for their fossilized forests, early reptiles, and the oldest known tracks of land animals, these cliffs offer an unparalleled record of life during the "Coal Age." Recognized for their scientific value, they stand as a window into Earth’s ancient ecosystems.
