La Brea Tar Pits, Los Angeles, CA
The La Brea Tar Pits are a group of tar pits around which Hancock Park was formed in urban Los Angeles. As the most prominent of the city's four Natural History Museums, the Page Museum is devoted to researching and displaying the fossils found in the tar pits. The tar pits are remnants of the last Ice Age, and over time they have preserved the bones of saber-toothed cats, mammoths, and other Ice Age animals.
The La Brea Tar Pits were first discovered by people in the late 18th century, but it was not until the early 20th century that excavations began in earnest. In 1913, Chester Stock of the Los Angeles Museum (now the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County) found the first complete skeleton of an extinct Ice Age mammal, a dire wolf. The find spurred further excavations at the site, and by the mid-20th century, more than 1 million Ice Age fossils had been recovered from the La Brea Tar Pits.
Today, visitors to Hancock Park can see replicas of some of the animals that have been found in the tar pits, as well as watch paleontologists at work on new discoveries. The La Brea Tar Pits are a unique window into LA's past, and a must-see for any visitor to the city.
