Ice Age Fossils in LA

Recently, in Los Angeles, scientists have discovered deposits of Ice Age fossils in the city of La Brea Tar Pits. Researchers have found 16 fossils that belong to the Ice Age over all. Some types of animals were saber-toothed cats, skulls of American lions, a mammoth, dire wolves, bison, horses, and ground sloths. The researchers began looking for these fossils in 2006 and found these 16 fossils under an old parking lot. La Brea Tar Pits are one of the world’s most famous fossil sites. It has been known that since 1996 more than one million fossils have been found. I wonder what more is there to come.
