La Brea Tar Pits
One of the world's most significant fossil sites, the tar pits
in central Los Angeles have revealed fossils of plant and animal
life preserved in the pits for ten of thousands of years. The
fossils themselves are on display in the Page Museum on the site,
while replicas of some of the animals, mammoths and sabre-toothed
cats found have been creatively re-placed in and around the
pits.
