Today's Fossil Finders

Erwin Zodrow specialises in chemotaxonomy -- the science of describing plants by their chemical nature.

Ann studies "young" foraminifera from the Quaternary Period, about the last 2 million years. She collects foraminifera from the sea floor and does all of her field work from the deck of a research ship.

Howard's fine arts background has been a great help in his work at the Brule fossil site, where he makes casts of the trackways and sculpts models of the animals that may have made the footprints.

The immensity of geological time has always captivated this "fossil man."

Tim's work to date with the fossil material at Parrsboro has been an important contribution to the Fundy Geological Museum's work on Canada's oldest dinosaurs.

Eldon George found his first fossil when he was nine years old. That first discovery has lead to a lifetime of collecting fossils, rocks, and minerals.

A geologist and palaeontologist, John is presently studying the fossilised forest and trackways of Brule and the ancient ecology of Joggins.

George Hrynewich, through collaborations and on his own, has broadened the understanding of Triassic / Jurassic reptiles.

A true fossil enthusiast, Don Reid has collected beach fossils at Joggins for as long as he can remember.

Neil Shubin's greatest achievement to date was his monumental discovery of Triassic-Jurassic fossils at Parrsboro, Nova Scotia.

Andrew uses palynology to discover answers and solve tricky geological problems in the Canadian Arctic.
