Geocache Description:

The Jim Henson Company has enlisted the help of PBS stations, museums, zoos, and aquariums to hide DINOSAUR TRAIN themed geocaches. Geocaching is, as we all know, a family friendly outdoor adventure that blends technology, gaming and environmental discovery. Each geocache features one of the dinosaurs found on the online DINOSAUR TRAIN Field Guide and contains educational information related to that dinosaur. I've taken the liberty to have these two caches stocked with information about 26 different dinosaurs, printed on collectible cards that young cachers can take with them. This cache has dinosaurs from A to M.

The cache is an ammo box, with toy dinosaurs and collectible cards in it that should delight young children who find this cache! The road to the cache is a bit rough in places, but any car should be able to get within 100 ft of the cache, through/along a forestry access road that then has a small access road coming off it.

Labrador actually has no evidence of dinosaurs in its rocks, due mainly to the fact that much of Labrador's geology is actually Pre-Cambrian. Some of the oldest rocks on Earth are in this part of the province, rocks that were formed before life itself started on our planet. That being said, there are some very ancient fossils in southern Labrador, namely: The Point Amour Patch Reefs, Labrador, Canada

The mound-like formations present along this shore are composed of the calcite skeletons of an extinct group of sponge-like animals called Archaeocyathids (arc-ae-o-sy-athids). They literally look like giant paving stones from a distance.

The Point Amour Archaeocyathid reefs, which were formed about 530 million years ago, provide evidence that this region was once a warm sea near the equator.
Anyway, even though we don't have dinosaur fossils here, there is no reason we can't have caches about these ancient life forms!
