La Brea and Beyond: the Paleontology of Asphalt-Preserved Biotas
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.

We begin with a model 20 system; two populations of Pleistocene dire wolves from Rancho La Brea that we 21 examine from a data-analytic perspective to produce candidate models of integration.

I would like to devote this section to those who gave me their time, in whatever form it may have taken. Thank you to my advisor, Dr. Don Prothero, for his expertise in paleontology and willingness to impart that knowledge. Your ability to convey concepts new and old will continue to keep me interested in the life that has existed in the ancient past, still exists today, or may exist in the future. Urging me to attend conferences has brought me out of old comfort zones into the realm of new possibilities. Thank you to Johnnie French of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service for dedicating time out of your busy day to collect data that was beyond my reach and thereby contributing to this project.

PRESS RELEASE New Monument to Protect Uniquely American
PRESS RELEASE New Monument to Protect Uniquely American Landscape, Art and Heritage Los Angeles County Museum of Art and Conservation Lands Foundation Praise Basin and Range National Monument Announcement (Los Angeles, July 10, 2015)—The Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) and the Conservation Lands Foundation applaud President Obama’s designation of the Basin and Range National Monument in central Nevada. At a time when America’s open spaces are rapidly disappearing, it is encouraging to see President Obama set aside some of Nevada’s most scenic mountains and valleys as the Basin and Range National Monument. “This area is like no place else on earth,” said Brian O’Donnell, executive director of the Conservation Lands Foundation. “With its unspoiled vistas, petroglyphs, and wildlife habitat, the Basin and Range National Monument is an ideal addition to our National Conservation Lands.” The designation of the Basin and Range National Monument, located about 150 miles north of Las Vegas, protects uniquely American history and culture. The area contains important archaeological sites, 19th-century settlements, Native American trails, and pioneer ranching sites. Within the boundaries of the National Monument is the largest contemporary Land Art sculpture ever built—City —by acclaimed American artist Michael Heizer. The artist chose the site of Garden Valley within the Basin and Range region for its unmarred public lands. The location is inextricably linked to the monumental work. “Designating the Basin and Range National Monument achieves two remarkable outcomes—a world-class artwork would endure into the future as it was envisioned, surrounded by sublimely beautiful open country; and a majestic Western American landscape would remain unspoiled for future generations,” commented Michael Govan, CEO and Wallis Annenberg Director of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.
