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
