Horton Bluff - The Discovery- about a trackway made by a very large tetrapodomorph - each footprint was 30 cm long and they were spaced 30 cm apart. The tracks are deep with raised edges, suggesting that the animal was heavy and the mud very soft.  The type of creature that made the trackway is not known.

Blue Beach Fossils - a new privately run museum that just opened up featuring the flora and fauna of Horton Bluff, Nova Scotia, Tournasian fossils. It contains information about the site as well as some images of fossils that they have found and are currently working on.
