Diplichnites from Nova Scotia


FossilsNS

Recommended Posts

Hello all,

 

Here are a few Diplichnites incertipies specimens that I found on a 2019 expedition in Nova Scotia. It is illegal to collect fossils in NS without a permit, however all the fossils found at this site (see large arthropluera tracks and tetrapod footprints in prior posts) have been brought to the local museums attention. Stay tuned for more!

 

I hope you enjoy,

Nice finds!

Very cool trackways. Was that an ancient millipede that made the tracks?  I hope the museum goes to collect those and they don't just wash away with the next tide.

Thanks Shamalama.

 

Yes you are correct, this would have been made by late Carboniferous myriads (millipedes, centipedes and other close relatives).

He's permitted, a citizen scientist and working with experts to preserve these important fossils. No worries. And he's quickly becoming an expert in his own right as well!
