History

Bonnechere Museum, also known as the Ordovician Fossil Capital of Canada, presents life’s natural and cultural history as it developed along the Bonnechere River.

 

Many fossils are found in this area from approximately 500 million years ago (in a time before dinosaurs), including coral, crinoids, trilobites, cephalopods, gastropods, pelecypods, stromatolites, and brachiopods.
