Thanks to Jason for taking us up on our offer to answer #geology questions about #NovaScotia! He asked via Facebook whether these pictures from #Inverness Beach show coal and gypsum. Here is our answer:

We can’t be sure without seeing them in person but you're likely right that the pics are coal and gypsum. There's a long history of coal mining there - nearby #CabotLinks golf course is built on a former coal mine. Coal was first discovered there in 1863 and was mined til 1958.
