FOSSILS OF THE UPPER CRETACEOUS MOTORCROSS SITE: NANAIMO
Summary:
Steller's Jay, Cyanocitta stelleri
One of the classic fossil localities on Vancouver Island lies within the Santonian–Maastrichtian (Upper Cretaceous) Haslam Formation at the old Motocross Pit near Brannen Lake, just outside Nanaimo, British Columbia. Once an active quarry, the site now hums with the roar of dirt bikes and the scent of gasoline and wet earth carried on the coastal wind.
