Dinosaur Expedition 2000, Nova Scotia

Parrsboro, Nova Scotia

July 24-3

A small group of Researchers are digging near Parrsboro on the Bay of Fundy. They're hoping to uncover the remains of a 200+ million year old dinosaur! The expedition is being led by Tim Fedak, a Research Associate with the Nova Scotia Museum, who hopes to unravel the mystery of how these dinosaurs died using clues from the sediments.

Looking at the extent of visible material will determine the course of future digs. Previous expeditions have revealed that these long-necked, long-tailed, prosauropod type dinosaurs are cousins to American Prosauropods from the Connecticut Valley in the 1800s. The Nova Scotia animals belong to a new species that will be named in the coming year.

Visitors to the area can learn more about this mysterious part of our Earth’s history with geological tours of the site led by Fundy Geological Museum staff July 24 to July 28. For details, contact 1-866-856-DINO or visit the museum on-line.
