Blue Beach Fossil Hunting

Well, I'm back from vacation, and thought you'd like to see some fossils I found.  These fossils are from Blue Beach, Nova Scotia.  The museum is quite small, and they are looking for funding/sponsors to build a proper museum on site. There is a hike to the beach, and once you get there, you can see fossils almost at once. This beach is known for its trace fossils, which means that they are tracks or traces of creatures and even plants. This stretch of beach  represents Romers Gap, a part of our natural history that is not well known.

possible tetrapod tracks !bark or a root piece?
is it a fossilized tree?

 When I got home, I used my silhouette machine to make myself a t shirt as they don t have a gift shop yet. Hope you enjoyed seeing some of the fossils that can be found at Blue Beach. It was a great vacation. ❤😀
