Paleontology
Paleontology is the study of ancient life, often through the examination of fossils. Canada is home to numerous paleontological sites — such as in Joggins, Miguasha and the Badlands — that reveal the lifeforms that inhabited what is now Canada thousands, if not millions, of years ago. From one of the largest Tyrannosaurus rex fossils ever found, “Scotty,” to Tiktaalik, a key evolutionary step in the journey of animals onto land, Canada has been the site of many incredible paleontological finds. This collection brings together some of the ancient life of Canada, as well as many notable paleontological sites and concepts.

Geological History of Canada
Geological time looks at the history of the Earth on a broad scale. Much of what is known about this history was discovered by looking at rocks and fossils. Modern humans, or Homo sapiens, have only existed for around the past 315,000 years of the over 4.6-billion-year history of the earth. This is less than 0.01 per cent of Earth’s history.
