The Dawning of the Dinosaurs - The Story of Canada's Oldest Dinosaurs 

Harry Thurston, illustrated by Ivan Murphy
In the words of Dr. Paul Olson, Professor of Geology, Columbia University, "Dawning of the Dinosaurs is one of the very best popular accounts of a major fossil find. Thurston brings both the dinosaurs and the science of studying them to life." Dinosaur evidence from Nova Scotia dates back more than 200 million years ago, to the beginning of the Jurassic Age, when the ancestors of Brontosaurus roamed the desert landscape. A fascinating read on its own with original illustrations, and a great guide for a visit to the fossil cliffs of Parrsboro.

Canadian Paleontology Conference Field Trip Guidebook No. 8 covers the sites studied during the Tenth Canadian Paleontology Conference at St. Francis Xavier University, Antigonish. The Joggins Section arguably is the world's best exposed section of Carboniferous coal measures. From a historical perspective, it was studied by Sir Charles Lyell, Sir William Dawson, and Sir William Logan. New work has shed light on the sedimentology and paleoecology of this section. The Brule site is the tidal location of a fossil Walachian forest and vertebrate trackway discovered in 1994. These Early Permian beds record the earliest known gregarious behaviour in terrestrial vertebrates.

On 30 April, 1903, a day after the Frank Slide, the Superintendent of Mines in the Canadian Department of the Interior instructed two senior staff of the Geological Survey of Canada (R.G. McConnell and R.W. Brock) to investigate the catastrophe. Their report was published in 1904 and has been out-of-print for a long time. EGS decided to reprint this report on the occasion of the centennial of the Frank Slide in 2003. McConnell and Brock’s conclusion was that the slide was due to a combination of causes the chief of which, the structure and condition of the mountain, was aided by exceptional atmospheric and other natural conditions. The condition of the strata before the slide was affected by slight readjustments attendant on mining operations. The careful contemporary account of the landslide's impact on Frank is still one of the very few available for risk assessment studies. The book is a must for anybody interested in landslides. The book includes a reproduction of the original geological map.

Geology Tours of Vancouver's Buildings and Monuments

Softcover - 143 pages (2003)

Guidebook No. 11 covers the sites studied during the Canadian Paleontology Conference (CPC-2007) at Memorial University in St. John's, NL from September 20 to 23, 2007. The field trip goes through Pigeon Cove to see the world's oldest complex fossils, as well as Bristy Cove, Gull Rock Cove and Mistaken Point.

Approximately 50 kilometres north of Vancouver, BC, is Garibaldi Provincial Park – a 195,000 hectare wilderness park offering outstanding year-round activities. Spectacular views of geologic formations, alpine vegetation and wildlife viewing opportunities make this park popular. The trails and information presented on this map are to Garibaldi Lake and nearby features. Featured information also includes the structure of the Earth, a cross-section of the earth’s crust near Vancouver, and an explanation of the Juan de Fuca Plate’s movement off the BC coast.

Timeless text helps the visitor to Garibaldi Lake recognize the active geological processes and the effects these have in creating the rocks and in shaping the land. Includes a simplified diagram of the Geologic Cycle, and a general topographical and geological map of the Garibaldi Lake region.

The Valley Beneath Our Feet: An Earth Science Walk Across Edmonton's River is a supplement to "Edmonton Beneath Our Feet", and describes earth science to see in the North Saskatchewan River Valley between the University of Alberta and Rossdale. You’ll walk through old Fort Edmonton, the Legislature Grounds, and the sites of the 1915 flood and Strathcona Mine fire, sharing the views of an engineer, a geologist and a geomorphologist.

This volume should be of interest to a wide range of earth scientists visiting the Caribbean Islands. It includes many half and full-day hiking trips which examine the geology of the three Caribbean Volcanic Islands, and is current to the end of 1989. The guide is suitable for individual, group or student trip use, and fills a gap between guides for the layman and hard-to-get technical trip guides.

Edited by: S. Colman-Sadd and S.A. Scott, 91 pages plus map; revised in 2003.

The Bancroft area is famous for its great variety of minerals and the quality of mineral specimens that can be found. Bancroft specimens can be found in displays all over the world, including the Smithsonian Institution.

Bancroft is regarded as the "Mineral Capital of Canada" because of the well known variety and quality of mineral species which occur here. A list of commodities mined in the Bancroft area include: corundum, feldspar, uranium, graphite, iron, nepheline syenite, mica, marble, granite, lead, gold, molybdenite, apatite, beryl, fluorite, talc and sodalite. Mining in most cases was carried out on a limited scale, between 1880 and 1935, and was largely confined to open cuts and quarries.
