Congratulations to @MesozoicMuse for winning this distinction for the wonderful depiction of life at Joggins Fossil Cliffs @Canada2UNESCO in #NovaScotia -
Woke up to find that won 1st prize for "Realistic Reconstruction" Paleoart competition during #ipc6!
This is"The Rise of Amniotes in Joggins", done for the @ROMtoronto as a mural for the Dawn of Life Gallery, depicting the Carboniferous Joggins formation. I'm so grateful!
Samuel Gaskin was a Black Nova Scotian who made significant contributions to maps developed for geology and tourism projects from 1950 through 1977. Information posters are available at @BCC_NS - and read more in blog post at: museum.novascotia.ca/blog/ma… #BlackHistoryMonth2025

This heart rock was given to me by young Emma during an urban geology tour in Halifax in 2023. It remains on my office desk. #HappyValentinesDay #HeartRocks

Today I facilitated an observation drawing event for youth in the exhibit gallery of the @MNH_Naturalists - one hour of drawing, lots of fun and learning. Everyone completed four drawings on a folded sheet of 11x17 card stock, resulting in a hand drawn poster.
Had an excellent #CapeBreton field day with @jason_loxton - including a short visit to new fossil forest site found by a local on a kayak tour last year. A photogrammetry model to be processed. Jason is documenting and estimating cliff erosion. Field drawing from photo.
On my way to the Cape Breton Fossil Centre in #SydneyMjnes to give a talk about Mastodons of #CapeBreton tonight at 6;30 pm - and a quick stop to at Mastodon Ridge along the way.
I will be leading an #urbangeology field trip first caused on the Citadel Drumlin in #Halifax for the AUGC 2024 conference participants today. On their way to the museum, they could look out for sidewalk trace “fossils” on Coburg Street near @DalhousieU
Neat to see that at only nine years old, Elizabeth King (1923-2010) was a founding member of the Dalhousie @Dal_ESnENVS Dawson Geology Club in 1932. From @DalLibraries Archives -
Also on the list is Helen Belyea, who completed, undergrad and MSc at Dalhousie and was also Dawson Geology Club President. Obviously a strong role model for young Elizabeth King!
