Not surprising. A lot of things become extinct in California.

There are no fossils — just clever legerdemain by either God or Satan to confuse the unbelievers and/or confirm the eeevil athiests.

It greives me to live in Ca right now. But I have one son going into his senior year in HS and 2.5 years until I can take early retirement. On top of that I’m in the defense industry and starting to get nervous about this new thugocracy we have. And with the exception of my 401k turning into crap the wife and I are enjoying the best financial years of our working lives right now. Ain’t that the chits!

"There were 16 separate deposits on the site -- an amount that, by her estimate, would have taken 20 years to excavate conventionally. But with LACMA officials prodding her "to get those things out of our way" so they could build their garage, she had to find another way." Given the state of "art" in today's social and political circles, the need for another parking lot for a museum that only rarely shows graffiti (L.A.s signature art form), and the value of findings that will be lost due to hasty (salvage) archeology;
this just ain't right.

a prize discovery because only bits and pieces of mammoths had previously been found in the tar pits. LOL the great looking but mostly inaccurate metal sculptures at the pits notwithstanding.

From the article:
“...In 3 1/2 months, working seven days a week,
she and her colleagues removed the entire collection
two years ago and delivered them to the museum...”
- - -
Two years ago?
News moves slowly out there, I guess.

You chance to jump in and tell is how it can’t be 40,000 years but it has to be less than 6,000 years.

This explains the huge pile of wooden boxes with markings that indicated “finds” that I saw in back of the museum a few months back. I always find that block of museums interesting. Along the regular sidewalks in back of the museums, the tar cracks through the surface in many spots - a reminder that it’s not just in the big pool in front of the block!

If they were smart, they would look for oil at the site and forget the fossils.
