My son and I enjoy looking for fossils from time to time. We found a good site
for trilobites outside of Ottawa, ON (since bulldozed) but would like to know
if anyone knows of any good sites in the Quebec area. Thanks.
Arthur — I don't know much about specific sites in Western Quebec. I just
moved to VT (Essex Junction–near Burlington) a year ago. A long way away, but
not THAT far. I can sometimes get a weak snowy picture from Ottawa on the TV.
I have read a fair amount about the general geology of the area, and can
possibly help some with some guidelines for where to look and what sort of
rocks to look for. Where are you based, and how far are you interested in
driving?
What kind of Trilobites did you find?
Had really good luck finding trilobites at Collingwood, on the south shore of
Georgian Bay, last year. Averaged about one/minute at the east end of the
picnic area on the bay shore, quit after 20 to leave a couple million specimens
for the rest of the world.
