W R MacAskill (1887-1956) was an award winning photographer when he had this photo titled “Glooscap’s Gateway, Nova Scotia”, published in The Saturday Evening Post @satevepost.bsky.social in May 1930.

The future is in books.

It is a rainy day in Nova Scotia. These impressions were made by raindrops falling millions of years ago, a prehistoric weather event frozen in the fossil record. Check out another Fossil Rain Print on our Collection Online: collections.novascotia.ca/object-967gs...

Can someone help #translate this postcard sent by my grandfather to his Aunt, from Ukrainian to English?

Everyone knows Gus and his good friend Root the Wood Turtle @mnhnovascotia.bsky.social - but did you know that the NSM Geology Collection also has 80,000 year old Wood Turtles from the mastodon sinkhole? Imagine putting these ancient puzzles together!

Two geology maps of #NovaScotia. The first is the full geology map of Nova Scotia, the second is what a palaeontologist sees - all the sedimentary formations with potential fossils. ⚒️. What do you see when you look at a geology map?

In 1832, Jacob Green MD was the FIRST to illustrate and describe a fossil from #NovaScotia - Asaphus crypturus, a giant Devonian trilobite from #MooseRiver at #Clementsport. Green also made plaster reference casts shared with museums around the world. He obtained the fossi from Francis Alger.

During today's tribute to Dr. Hans-Dieter Sues, Paul Olsen shared how Hans was able to identify the tooth of Oligokyphus within a few seconds of looking at a photo. Hans' knowledge was unparalleled, and he was always so supportive. ⚒️ @canjearthsci.bsky.social - dx.doi.org/10.1139/cjes-2014-0220

I was deeply saddened to hear of the recent passing of Dr. Hans-Dieter Sues. He has generously supported my work over the past thirty years and he made huge contributions to paleontology here in #NovaScotia. From 2021, a @novascotiamuseum.bsky.social showcase video youtu.be/AjzIuaQ-Qn0 - RIP Hans.

Zonia Baber is someone I would have like to meet.

Shooti@bambooshooti.bsky.social · 12mo ago

Baber put her theories into practice when she became head of the school’s Geography Department. She incorporated history and the natural sciences into the geography curriculum as well as modeling, drawing and painting. She believed that students should go on field trips and do hands-on lab work. /4

Today is World Maritime Day. With over 13,000 kilometers of coastline, Nova Scotia is shaped by the sea. Take time to explore the stories of our seafaring past, present, and future. #NovaScotia

Found this 80,000 year old seed in #MastodonMud at the museum today. Will it sprout? @novascotiamuseum.bsky.social
