A list of prehistoric and extinct species whose fossils have been found in the La Brea Tar Pits, located in present-day Hancock Park, a city park on the Miracle Mile section of the Mid-Wilshire district in Los Angeles, California. [1] [2] [3]
Contrary to popular belief, the tar pits don't contain dinosaur remains, as these were extinct before the pits formed. [28] The park is known for producing myriad mammal fossils dating from the Wisconsin glaciation. While mammal fossils generate significant interest, other fossils including fossilized insects and plants, and even pollen grains ...
The fossils include unique species of fish that had never been found in the area before. The discovery is reshaping views on California geology with the possibility of extinct islands.
Millions of prehistoric marine fossils were discovered beneath a California high school over the course of a multi-year construction project. The relics recovered at San Pedro High School included ...
San Pedro High School discovered a deposit of marine fossils on campus in 2022 and began collaborating with local paleontologists to uncover secrets from the Palos Verdes Peninsula's geological past.
Precambrian fossils are present but rare in California. [2] During the early Paleozoic, California was covered by a warm shallow sea inhabited by marine invertebrates such as ammonites, brachiopods, and corals. [2] At least two different genera of trilobites lived in San Bernardino County during the Early Cambrian. [3]
