Yesterday we went to Joggins Fossil Cliffs, which has fossils that predate the dinosaurs by 250 million years. We did a half-hour tour of the cliffs and beach. It was pretty amazing.

People kept finding things they thought were cool and showing them to our tour guide. She'd almost invariably say, "uh-huh, that's mudstone," or, more frequently, "That's poop." (Fossilized poop, of course.) Grace and Dad thought this was absolutely hilarious. So much, in fact, that they made a video about it.
