The footprint is the size of a penny. Three tiny toes pressed into sandstone 200 million years ago by a theropod dinosaur roughly the size of a robin -- the smallest dinosaur tracks ever found anywhere on Earth. They sit inside the Fundy Geological Museum in Parrsboro, Nova Scotia, alongside the skeleton of a prosauropod dinosaur that researchers are still painstakingly uncovering in the museum's working laboratory. Outside the building, the Bay of Fundy tides are doing their own paleontological work, carving fresh fossils from the coastal cliffs with every cycle.

The Fundy Geological Museum opened in 1993 in Parrsboro, a small town on the north shore of the Minas Basin where the Bay of Fundy's extreme tides have been exposing ancient rock for millennia. Part of the Nova Scotia Museum system, it has welcomed more than 300,000 visitors sinc...

On April 10, 1984, a local fossil hunter named Eldon George was walking the shore at Wasson Bluff, about five miles east of Parrsboro, when his experienced eye caught something extraordinary. Using a jackknife, he gradually exposed five fossil trackways imprinted on a slab of san...

What sets the Fundy Geological Museum apart from most natural history institutions is transparency. The museum houses the only fossil research laboratory east of Montreal, and visitors can peer through glass windows to watch paleontologists at work -- brushing sediment from 200-m...

The museum exists because of the Bay of Fundy. The same tides that produce the world's highest tidal ranges -- exceeding 16 meters at nearby Burntcoat Head -- are constantly sculpting the coastline around Parrsboro, shearing layers from cliffs that hold 200 million years of geolo...
