#215: How To LA is getting sciency! We're checking out 30,000 year old baby bison bones, extinct giant sloths and the jaws of American Lions.
L.A. might be more known its entertainment industry and beach weather. But the city is ALSO home to the only active urban fossil dig site in the world: La Brea Tar Pits.
These bubbling pools of asphalt coming out of the ground are the richest source of Ice Age fossils on earth.
Today, HTLA digs into the history of the Tar Pits and how it's continuing to serve the research community today with asst. curator Dr. Emily Lindsey.
Guests: Emily Lindsey, Associate Curator and Excavation Site Director, La Brea Tar Pits
