		Arisaig overlooks the waters of Northumberland Strait, and has provided a wealth of information to geologists for the past 150 years.
		It's a little off the beaten track for tourists -- there are no concessions or restaurants in the vicinity -- but it's well worth it to pack a picnic lunch and spend an afternoon on the beach, sunbathing, splashing in the waves and, yes, sifting through the crumbly rocks.

		Title : Paleopalynology of the Silurian Section at Arisaig, Nova Scotia Abstract : The proposed project concerns the collection, description and study of microscopic plant remains and acritarchs from Silurian age rocks in northeastern North America.
		The principal section to be sampled will be the Arisaig Group in Nova Scotia, an extremely well-studied shallow marine deposit which spans the entire Silurian Period.
		Spores and other plant fragments occur as organic components of these near-shore marine deposits, and, because organic-walled phytoplankton (acritarchs) are mixed in with land plant remains, it will be possible to compare the North American assemblages directly with their counterparts from the type sections in the Welsh Borderlands and the Prague Basin.

		Periechocrinus schultzianus is identified and described for the first time since its original publication from the Ludlow age (Silurian) Green Member of the Moydart Formation, Arisaig, Nova Scotia.
		It is the first complete crinoid to be described from Arisaig, despite substantial study of the rest of the fauna at the locality since the 1800's.
		In contrast, the disarticulated and probably long-dead shell fragments found in the underlying bioclastic limestone bed were probably winnowed from the sediments of the surrounding area and deposited in scours while the storm was still active.
