The La Brea Tar Pits: World’s Oldest Preserved Ice Age Fossil
The La Brea Tar Pits are a series of tar pits located in Los Angeles, California. These pits are home to the world’s oldest, most extensive, and best-preserved ice age fossil site. The pits were discovered in 1912 by an oil worker named John D. Rockefeller. At the time, the tar pits were thought to be a natural source of oil.
