The finding kicked off a huge salvage project to record and date the fossils, which turned out to be roughly 8.7 million years old. Los Angeles used to be under water.
This "wiggle-matching" technique can lead to more precise dating than is possible with individual radiocarbon dates. [89] Wiggle-matching can be used in places where there is a plateau on the calibration curve, [note 12] and hence can provide a much more accurate date than the intercept or probability methods are able to produce.
