A Nova Scotia woman is encouraging others to get out and explore the province after she made an impressive discovery during her first trip to the Joggins Fossil Cliffs.

Erin Levy was supposed to be on summer vacation in Alberta, but the COVID-19 pandemic forced her to stay in Nova Scotia, where she decided to enjoy a staycation.The UNESCO World Heritage Site had just reopened on July 1.

Levy soon discovered that “neat” was an understatement for her discovery, which turned out to be a 310-million-year-old fossil. “These are fossilized footprints of two different animals,” explains Melissa Grey, curator at the Joggins Fossil Centre.
