John W. Dawson returned to Joggins in the summer of 1853 without Charles Lyell, who had been hired to work for the
1853 World's Fair in New York City. Dawson<unk>continued to investigate the Joggins Formation alone, and on 2 November 1853 sent his completed survey to Lyell. Dawson claimed that his and Lyell's findings matched those made by William Logan, and by 1855 Dawson no longer used his own survey and began to rely only on Logan's for reference. 2005 review of their respective surveys, it was determined that Dawson and Lyell's work was more accurate than Logan's.
