On my way out of the LA area I stopped at the La Brea tar pits. I was a bit concerned when there were a dozen school busses parked along the road, but I came in while most of them were finishing up. I didn’t realize the sheer number of bones that they had found. They have a wall in the museum with 400+ skulls from dire wolves. Some other species are less numerous but there are still hundreds of individuals found in the tar. There were some interesting skeletons and models in the museum, and a nice park with some bubbling tar pits.
