Joggins Fossil Cliffs is a stretch of coastal cliffs along the Bay of Fundy in Nova Scotia, Canada, exposing a continuous sequence of Late Carboniferous coal bearing sedimentary rock roughly three hundred and ten million years old, in which the world's tallest tides continually erode fresh fossils, including some of the earliest known reptiles preserved standing inside fossilized tree stumps. The site was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2008 for its exceptional record of a Coal Age tropical forest ecosystem.
