#FossilAdventCalendar Day 3
We're jumping to the #Maritimes today to celebrate one of #Canada's most important #fossil sites. #NovaScotia's #JogginsFossilCliffs are a window into the #Carboniferous, a period that saw the spread of a new #biome: #forests. This #fossilized #tree on display at the #RoyalOntarioMuseum is a #lycopsid, a super-sized relative of living #ClubMosses that, along with #cycads, #ferns, and early relatives of #seed #plants, made up the #flora of the #Joggins #forest.
