Congratulations to @MesozoicMuse for winning this distinction for the wonderful depiction of life at Joggins Fossil Cliffs @Canada2UNESCO in #NovaScotia -

@MesozoicMuse @CambroJoe @ROMtoronto Wonderful! Congratulations. So well deserved.

Woke up to find that won 1st prize for "Realistic Reconstruction" Paleoart competition during #ipc6! This is"The Rise of Amniotes in Joggins", done for the @ROMtoronto as a mural for the Dawn of Life Gallery, depicting the Carboniferous Joggins formation. I'm so grateful!

Samuel Gaskin was a Black Nova Scotian who made significant contributions to maps developed for geology and tourism projects from 1950 through 1977. Information posters are available at @BCC_NS - and read more in blog post at: museum.novascotia.ca/blog/mapping-a… #BlackHistoryMonth2025

This heart rock was given to me by young Emma during an urban geology tour in Halifax in 2023. It remains on my office desk. #HappyValentinesDay #HeartRocks

@JamesGIS Waving 👋

No one ever waves.

Some of the student work -

Today I facilitated an observation drawing event for youth in the exhibit gallery of the @MNH_Naturalists - one hour of drawing, lots of fun and learning. Everyone completed four drawings on a folded sheet of 11x17 card stock, resulting in a hand drawn poster.

A question for field naturalists, botanists and zoologists - what does this look like?

@jason_loxton Basic/Low resolution photogrammetry model at: skfb.ly/p8rSx

Had an excellent #CapeBreton field day with @jason_loxton - including a short visit to new fossil forest site found by a local on a kayak tour last year. A photogrammetry model to be processed. Jason is documenting and estimating cliff erosion. Field drawing from photo.

@tim_fedak Cape Breton has a fossil centre? I never knew.

On my way to the Cape Breton Fossil Centre in #SydneyMjnes to give a talk about Mastodons of #CapeBreton tonight at 6;30 pm - and a quick stop to at Mastodon Ridge along the way.

I will be leading an #urbangeology field trip first caused on the Citadel Drumlin in #Halifax for the AUGC 2024 conference participants today. On their way to the museum, they could look out for sidewalk trace “fossils” on Coburg Street near @DalhousieU

Also on the list is Helen Belyea, who completed, undergrad and MSc at Dalhousie and was also Dawson Geology Club President. Obviously a strong role model for young Elizabeth King! en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helen_Bel…

Neat to see that at only nine years old, Elizabeth King (1923-2010) was a founding member of the Dalhousie @Dal_ESnENVS Dawson Geology Club in 1932. From @DalLibraries Archives -
