🎧 Listen to Introduction
Located on Anticosti Island, the largest island in Quebec, this site contains the most complete and best-preserved paleontological record of the first mass extinction of animals (447-437 million years ago), and includes the best-preserved fossil record of marine life spanning 10 million years of Earth history. The number, variety and perfection of its fossils are unparalleled, allowing for world-class scientific research. Thousands of large sedimentary surfaces allow us to observe and study shells and some molluscs from the ancient tropical shallow seabed.
