La Brea Tar Pits

posted by rbyre on 21 January 2011 at 12:11

My girlfriend is something of a dinosaurophile, and has seen all the hollywood films so insisted we came here to the tar pits where fossils are regularly uncovered. Despite the huge fake animals in the tar the Museum of La Brea Discoveries really is fascinating.

Really intersting (and famous! but loads of things have been in the movies round here) place, I learned a lot about fossils and what the tar pits were all about. Would say the most surreal bit is the life-size replicas of extinct animals but hey it's america!

Page Museum and La Brea Tar Pits

This is the coolest museum, especially for kids, since it is right in the middle of downtown Los Angeles and shows how the area was 10,000 to 40,000 years ago, during the last ice age. On this site are real fossils of extinct creatures that roamed the Los Angeles basin. It is a very interesting place, since you can't really imagine the dinosaur-type creatures roaming around. The Museum has life-size replicas of many of these animals. The museum is constantly finding new fossils and bones and has done carbon-14 dating to authenticate the age of many of these relics. This is highly recommended and very interesting.
