    La Brea and Beyond: The Paleontology of Asphalt-Preserved Biotas Edited by John M. Harris Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County Science Series 42 September 15, 2015 Cover Illustration: Pit 91 in 1915 An asphaltic bone mass in Pit 91 was discovered and exposed by the Los Angeles County Museum of History, Science and Art in the summer of 1915. The Los Angeles County Museum of Natural History resumed excavation at this site in 1969. Retrieval of the “microfossils” from the asphaltic matrix has yielded a wealth of insect, mollusk, and plant remains, more than doubling the number of species recovered by earlier excavations. Today, the current excavation site is 900 square feet in extent, yielding fossils that range in age from about 15,000 to about 42,000 radiocarbon years.

  • Compare the Parks
    Curating the City: Wilshire Blvd. Lesson 10: Compare the Parks What You Need Grade Level: All Levels to Know: Curriculum Connections: English—Language Arts Kids’ Guide Correlation: Use this lesson in conjunction with pages 8-9 and 21 of the Guide. As your class explores MacArthur Park and Palisades Park, use this collaborative activity to help students reflect on how parks are similar and different and why parks are important in the life of the city. This activity is designed to be a supplement to additional trips along Wilshire Boulevard to see Hancock Park (the site of the La Brea Tar Pits and George C. Page Museum), Lafayette Park, Christine Emerson Reed Park, and Douglas Park. You can easily modify this activity to have students explore and reflect on the parks in your own community. Website Correlation: Go to laconservancy.org/wilshire. Under “Explore Wilshire Blvd.,” use the keyword search to find the pages on MacArthur and Lafayette Parks for photos and background information. You can also select “Community Landscape” under “Property Type” to see the parks along Wilshire, or search to locate photos and more information on Lafayette Park, La Brea Tar Pits, Reed Park, and Douglas Park. Focus Questions: How are MacArthur Park and Palisades Park similar and different? What makes other the parks along Wilshire, such as Hancock Park (the site of the La Brea Tar Pits), Lafayette Park, Reed Park, or Douglas Park special? Why are parks important? What do the parks tells us about how Los Angeles has changed over the years? Expected Learning Students will be able to identify unique characteristics of MacArthur Park, Outcomes: Palisades Park, Hancock Park, Lafayette Park, Reed Park, and Douglas Park.

  • Exceptionally Preserved Asphaltic Coprolites Expand the Spatiotemporal Range of a North American Paleoecological Proxy Alexis M
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Exceptionally preserved asphaltic coprolites expand the spatiotemporal range of a North American paleoecological proxy Alexis M. Mychajliw1,2,3*, Karin A. Rice1, Laura R. Tewksbury1, John R. Southon4 & Emily L. Lindsey1 As fossilized feces, coprolites represent direct evidence of animal behavior captured in the fossil record. They encapsulate past ecological interactions between a consumer and its prey and, when they contain plant material, can also guide paleoenvironmental reconstructions. Here we describe the frst coprolites from the lagerstätte Rancho La Brea (RLB) in Los Angeles, California, which also represent the frst confrmed coprolites from an asphaltic (“tar pit”) context globally. Combining multiple lines of evidence, including radiocarbon dating, body size reconstructions, stable isotope analysis, scanning electron microscopy, and sediment analyses, we document hundreds of rodent coprolites found in association with plant material, and tentatively assign them to the woodrat genus Neotoma. Neotoma nests (i.e., middens) and their associated coprolites inform paleoclimatic reconstructions for the arid southwestern US but are not typically preserved in coastal areas due to environmental and physiological characteristics. The serendipitous activity of an asphalt seep preserved coprolites and their original cellulosic material for 50,000 years at RLB, yielding a snapshot of coastal California during Marine Isotope Stage 3. This discovery augments the proxies available at an already critical fossil locality and highlights the potential for more comprehensive paleoenvironmental analyses at other asphaltic localities globally. Coprolites are some of the most important ichnofossils that can be recovered from a diversity of taphonomic, ecological, and geologic contexts1. As trace fossils, coprolites represent windows into the evolution of ecological interactions such as predation, herbivory, and parasitism, and can contain paleoecological proxies spanning thou- sands to millions of years in the past2–4.

  • LADAMA - LADAMA Release Date: September 8Th, 2017
    LADAMA - LADAMA Release Date: September 8th, 2017 LADAMA is a group of four women, virtuosic musicians, and educators -- Lara Klaus, Daniela Serna, Mafer Bandola and Sara Lucas—each from a different country and culture of the Americas, who are sisters in song, rhythm and spirit. Harnessing music from their respective countries of origin --Brazil, Colombia, Venezuela and the United States, the group utilizes traditional and non-traditional instruments from across the Americas, but with a modern twist, to produce Latin Alternative music. LADAMA’s debut, self-titled album, set for release in the Fall of 2017, could not be more timely; both Latin America and the United States, in fact the world, are in need of projects that transcend boundaries and defy norms. This is precisely what their debut album, crafted carefully on a journey through Brazil, Colombia, Venezuela and New York, represents. LADAMA’s new self-titled album transcends space, time and borders. Hatched across continents and language by the members of the group themselves, it delivers a fresh take on a myriad of traditional, Pan-American rhythms all coming together seamlessly into LADAMA’s unique blend of enthralling sounds. The songs in this collection emit an electric pulse and energy that are truly global in concept and vision. A song like Porro Maracatu is a vibrant and provocative marriage of two traditional rhythms from Afro-Colombian and Afro-Brazilian culture. Confesión is a tender love letter to self-actualization and womanhood. Traditional instruments combine with electric arrangements to produce a vibrant, melodious experiment in allowing oneself to feel, speak and reimagine the currents that connect us all across the Americas.
