The rocks exposed in the cliffs around Minas Basin and the sediments swirling around in its waters and along its shores are testimony to 330 million years of earth history. We can learn about this fascinating history by studying the evidence presented to us: fossils, minerals, geologic structures, tidal sediments and marshes. People have long found necessary resources here; their needs have shifted from when the Mik’maq hunted for fish and game to Colonial needs of coal and other minerals and – more recently – the need to harness the tides to provide us with clean energy in a time of global warming and sea level rise. This presentation will you on a virtual field trip around Minas Basin, beginning at Blue Beach and ending with the basalts capping the North Mountain and forming Five Islands.
