The fossil-laden cliffs of Miguasha Park.

Researchers have uncovered a rich array of fossils.

Hike the trails in Miguasha Park.

Located in southeastern Quebec on the southern coast of the Gaspé Peninsula, Miguasha National Park is considered the most outstanding fossil site in the world illustrating the Devonian Period known as the "Age of Fishes."

Dating back 380 million years ago, these fossil remains contain six of the eight fossil fish groups associated with this period on Earth.

The area is of paramount importance because it has the greatest number and best preserved fossil remains of the lobe-finned fish found anywhere in the world. These fish gave rise to the first four-legged, air-breathing terrestrial vertebrates — the tetrapodes.

At this park, which the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization has designated a World Heritage Site, you can listen as a guide explains how scientists search for hidden treasures.

You can examine fossils under a microscope, and discuss your findings while picnicking on the cliffs facing the Baie-des-Chaleurs.

In addition to exhibits exploring the fossils and detailing the evolution of life on Earth, you can explore the remains of an estuary from the Devonian era.

There are also hiking trails and guided nature walks.

Collecting fossil remains is prohibited.
