Miguasha National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site in Canada, is a fossil treasure trove from the Devonian period, known as the "Age of Fishes." Its cliffs preserve an exceptional record of 370-million-year-old marine life, including key species like the lobe-finned fish that mark the transition to land vertebrates. Recognized for its paleontological significance, it stands as a vital window into Earth’s evolutionary past.
