the hidden island

22-09-2021 • 29 mins

Have you ever wondered what PEI looked like 290 million years ago? In episode 2, we explore PEI's geological history, beginning even before the time of dinosaurs, flowers, and birds. Learn about why our soil is red, how we were once at the centre of the world, and what incredible fossils have been found on the island.

Contact the provincial archaeologist by email (archaeology@gov.pe.ca) or by phone (902-368-6895) if you believe you've found a fossil. Contact Parks Canada at 1-877-852-3100 for potential fossils found in PEI National Park.

Features guest interviews: Dr. John Calder, Bob Sweet and Samantha Kelly.
