Researchers have had their first look at how a Prince Edward Island fossil fared over the past several months, and things are looking good.
The fossil — which they believe could be 300 million years old — was discovered last August by Island school teacher Lisa Cormier while she was taking a stroll on the beach in Cape Egmont.
After being excavated, the fossil was transported to the Parks Canada building in Greenwich, P.E.I.
Matt Stimson is a fossil footprint expert and the assistant curator of geology and paleontology at the New Brunswick Museum in Saint John, N.B.
He was in Greenwich Tuesday to help prepare the fossil for its trip to Carleton University in Ottawa.
