The McAbee Fossil Beds is a Heritage Site that protects an Eocene Epoch fossil locality east of Cache Creek, British Columbia, Canada, just north of and visible from Provincial Highway 97 / the Trans-Canada Highway (Highway 1). The McAbee Fossil Beds, comprising 548.23 hectares (1,354.7 acres), were officially designated a Provincial Heritage Site under British Columbia's Heritage Conservation Act on July 19, 2012. The site is part of an old lake bed which was deposited about 52 million years ago and is internationally recognised for the diversity of plant, insect, and fish fossils found there. Similar fossil beds in Eocene lake sediments, also known for their well preserved plant, insect and fish fossils, are found at Driftwood Canyon Provincial Park near Smithers in northern British Colu

  • The McAbee Fossil Beds is a Heritage Site that protects an Eocene Epoch fossil locality east of Cache Creek, British Columbia, Canada, just north of and visible from Provincial Highway 97 / the Trans-Canada Highway (Highway 1). The McAbee Fossil Beds, comprising 548.23 hectares (1,354.7 acres), were officially designated a Provincial Heritage Site under British Columbia's Heritage Conservation Act on July 19, 2012. The site is part of an old lake bed which was deposited about 52 million years ago and is internationally recognised for the diversity of plant, insect, and fish fossils found there. Similar fossil beds in Eocene lake sediments, also known for their well preserved plant, insect and fish fossils, are found at Driftwood Canyon Provincial Park near Smithers in northern British Columbia, on the Horsefly River near Quesnel in central British Columbia, and at Republic in Washington, United States. The Princeton Chert fossil beds in southern British Columbia are also Eocene, but primarily preserve an aquatic plant community. A 2016 review of the early Eocene fossil sites from the interior of British Columbia discusses the history of paleobotanical research at McAbee, the Princeton Chert, Driftwood Canyon, and related Eocene fossil sites such as at Republic. The McAbee Fossil Beds reopened for public viewing on June 21, 2019. The McAbee site is now under the management of the Bonaparte First Nation, who have title on the lands.CBC News (en)
  • McAbee Fossil Beds est un lieu situé à l'est de Cache Creek dans le district régional de Thompson-Nicola en Colombie-Britannique, réputé pour ses fossiles de l'époque Éocène.Le site paléontologique a été désigné par la Colombie-Britannique depuis le 19 juillet 2012. Le site fait partie d'un ancien lit de lacs qui s'est constitué il y a environ 52 millions d'années. Il est reconnu à l'échelle internationale pour la diversité des fossiles de plantes, d'insectes et de poissons qui s'y trouvent. Le lit de fossiles de Lagerstätte, dans le lac de sédiments de l'Éocene, également connu pour leurs fossiles bien conservés de plantes, d'insectes et de poissons, se trouve dans le parc provincial de Driftwood Canyon près de Smithers, en Colombie-Britannique, dans le nord de la Colombie-Britannique, sur la rivière Horsefly, près de Quesnel, dans le centre de la Colombie-Britannique et au centre d'interprétation de Stonerose, dans l'état de Washington, aux États-Unis. Les poissons d'eau douce de l'Éocène moyen de Colombie-Britannique, les fossiles littoraux de Princeton Chert dans le sud de la Colombie-Britannique datent également de l'Éocène, mais conservent surtout une communauté de plantes aquatiques. Les premiers sites fossiles de l'Éocène, à l'intérieur de la Colombie-Britannique, nous renseignent sur l'histoire de la recherche paléobotanique à McAbee, le Chert de Princeton, le Canyon de Driftwood et les sites fossiles liés à l'Éocène, tels que Stonerose Interpretive Center.
