Major Cache of Fossils Under Parking Garage

Story

Quote:
Workers excavating an underground garage on the site of an old May Co. parking structure in Los Angeles' Hancock Park got more than just a couple hundred new parking spaces. They found the largest known cache of fossils from the last ice age, an assemblage that has flabbergasted paleontologists....................

Among their finds, to be formally announced today, is the nearly intact skeleton of a Columbian mammoth -- named Zed by researchers -- a prize discovery because only bits and pieces of mammoths had previously been found in the tar pits.
I'm going to LACMA on Sunday. I may have to investigate (although I doubt the public has access).


I LOVE the Google Ads that appear to be "related" to this story:
