Happy #FossilFriday! from Anticosti Island, Quebec 🌊🪨
There’s nothing quite like the thrill of fieldwork—when someone shouts “Oh! Come look at this!” and the whole team gathers around to see what ancient story the rocks are about to reveal.
#AnticostiIsland #CanadianFossils
Anticosti Island has the most complete and best-preserved of Ordovician and Silurian sedimentary rocks, which contain a rich and exceptional fossil record of the first mass extinction of animal life, occurring 447-437 million years ago. 2/2

A view of Earth from the Int'l Space Station by Astro Petit with Lac Manicouagan in Quebec in the center seen as a frozen white circle
...what a great shot by #AstroPetit of the curvature (for flat-earthers) with the #Gaspé and #AnticostiIsland and the frozen but unmistakable curcular form of #LacManicouagan ...and heavy poetry to boot ! #Quebec #OCanada
