A Final Note
 The fossil cliffs of Joggins are a
popular and important tourist spot. They are also the site of extremely important and
fragile palaeontological deposits. Please remember that they have been designated a
Special Place under the Province of Nova Scotia's Special
Places Protection Act. It is illegal to extract fossils from the cliff without a Heritage Research Permit. The Nova Scotia Museum is currently revamping
its permit system to account for collecting loose fossils on the beach. They may be
collected in the interim, though the fossils remain the property of the Province of Nova
Scotia. Guided tours of the area are available. Please call the Joggins Fossil Centre
at (902)251-2727.
