Anticosti Island and its numerous fossils were inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List on Tuesday. This is the third place in Quebec, after the historic district of Old Quebec and Miguasha National Park, to be added to this list of unique sites in the world. Anticosti has more than 1,440 species of fossils that attract researchers from all over the world. The study of these fossils has demonstrated that changes in climate and sea level caused the extinction of almost all ocean life on the planet at the end of the Ordovician period (between 447 and 437 million years ago).

Another amateur find. The eyes of the untrained fossil collector can still help Science. Cheers to the astute finder. http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/new-brunswick/joggins-mount-allison-paleontology-fossils-1.3780594
