Abstract
When a geologist and paleontologist takes a "vacation" trip to the Maritime Provinces of Canada, he cannot leave his professional knowledge and curiosity behind. Bob and Anne's trip to the northeastern coasts of Canada yielded many examples of the surviving evidence of huge momentous planetary changes over millions of years, and also fascinating records of contemporary and historical places and things of interest. Bob has shared the slides from his latest report/presentation and reminds me that the slides were merely departure points for his explanations and discussions of things depicted: Viking life, natural resources from land and sea, tectonics, thrombolites, glaciation, the tumultuous events of the Cambrian and later geologic eras and their remnants today.
We wish we could hear Bob's explanations of all these things, but his visual reminders will have to do for now.
There are 106 slides. Bob and Anne are pictured in slide 86 in the first row in bright (Husker?) red rainsuits.
