From Cliff to Cabinet: Securing 18,000—52 Million Year Old Fossil Matrices for Research, Exhibition, and Learning The McAbee Fossil Beds Heritage Site near Cache Creek contains exceptional fossils vital for scientific research, education and viewing.


The significance of the site was initially recognized by researchers, and later, Dave Langevin and John Leahy made important fossil collections before its Heritage Site designation in July 2012.


In 2017, the Leahy family donated the fossils collected by John to the Royal B.C. Museum. Today, Marji Johns introduces you to the fossil site, some of the fossils and their significance, and initial plans for this new collection at the Museum.
