Miguasha's Elpistostege watsoni fossil
The Miguasha provincial park appears on UNESCO's World Heritage List for the quality of fossils found on the shores of the Baie des Chaleurs. The recent discovery of an Elpistostege watsoni represents the largest fossil ever found at the park, and the only known complete specimen of its kind on the planet. Our Rachelle Solomon met with Olivier Matton who explained this fossil's place in understanding evolution from water to land. Listen here

The Orléans Express bus company no longer wants to service a number of communities because it says it's losing money. Our Rachelle Solomon spoke with the past president of the Quebec Rural Transit Association about how the proposed cuts could affect people in the regions. Listen here
