Downtown Los Angeles has a pretty famous park and museum with fossils of preserved megafauna that have been extinct for millennia still regularly found just chilling in a bubbling lake of oil. I even worked there 25 years ago.

And well known to fans of Dr Demento. This is the Wikipedia about “Hancock Park” the city park that contains the tar pits and museum. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hancock_Park

There is also a district of the city that contains NIMBYs and other fossils, by a similar name.

I left you an email. Closed Links.

the museum is small but excellent; it has a wall covered just in Dire Wolf skulls found there

What's it called?

La Brea tarpits

The the tar tar pits.

(La Brea means "the tar").

A bit west of downtown, too, but I'm an annoying pedant.

Then it’s actually “The tar tar pits”. ;)

Sounds kinda like a Mario 64 stage.
