A discovery on a Hants County beach may help scientists understand more about what was happening 350-million years ago. It was a time when the first life forms were crawling out of the seas and starting to populate the land. The pelvis bone of one of those rare creatures has been found on Blue Beach near Hantsport. To find out more, we've reached Paleontologist Jason Anderson of Western University in Pomona, California.
