You really did an exemplary job explaining the museum and everything that can be seen there! Very interesting video!

Imagine the asphalt miners coming across the fossils without context and knowledge of what they were looking at.

Pico and Sepulveda Pico and Sepulveda...

Thanks for sharing.

Where's the emission tax on that

A camel stepped on my mom's pelvic region

'La Brea" means "The Tar". So if you say, "The La Brea Tar Pits" you are saying, "The The Tar Tar Pits".

Oil is a naturally occuring substance created deep inside the earths crust and moves to the surface with the help of fault lines. There isn't any fossils involved, it's all bull💩 created by Rockefeller

Sabertooth tigers are awesome.

Yay Dinos! Yay technically not Dinos!

Del Taco has a way better menu than Taco Bell. Rock on Del Taco, Rock on!

Clicked on the video to jog my memory. Went there back in 1999.

Great interesting, fascinating video. I liked the lizard chilling on the sign, lol.

As a young teen, I saw the Pits, but there wasn't any gates around the pits then. I'm glad there is now. Great narrative by the geologist, good speaking voice. He did a great job. I will feel awful for all the life that was stuck and lost there, how horrifying. I love animals, and I cried for about two days! I appreciated this good video.

What about the Woman found She was 9000 years old

It’s called “The Wall” because it has a wall. Who knew?

To think if the IJN and IJA did seriously contest a fight 🤔

Haha truth be told basin and range reminds me of dental basins LOL 😮

Finally, I can visit the pits without gagging from the smell of tar! Thank you!

A fault eh? Splay? Dextral? Normal? Reverse? Hanging Wall and Footwall?😅

Oil ah yes the silly meme are Plastic Toy Dinosaurs made from real Dinosaurs assuming Oil is made up of dead Dinosaurs?

To think in over 100 years of Industry yet it's barely tapped the surface of the ancient history and prehistory... how would prehistoric America have looked?! 😮

It's amazing how millions of years of evolution have the secret really of simplicity and adapting ever so slightly and yet the basic form and feature is simple ... fossil plants and their descendants such as the Ginkgoes or Ferns are not so different afterall ... just like prehistoric Sharks Crocs to modern Sharks Crocs

Well Down Under in our Terra Australis we have the Woolemi Pine haha and Lungfish and Stromatalites haha

To think Ginkgoes and Cycads and Ferns and many more yet.... Nautilus... Sharks... Fishes...

But none of them wear elves or St. Nicholas hats!!!

How have you been? We haven't spoken in AGES AND EONS AND PERIODS for a COLOSSAL amount of time haha.... But in all seriousness Happy Xmas amd New Years... 2025 is Year of the Snake ....whilst not a Dinosaur but Snakes are reptiles so ...

When I visited the Natural History Museum in La Plata, Argentina a few years the statues on either side were sabertooth tigers instead of lions. It was really cool. And Argentina has lots of Pleistocene mammals, including most genera of Glyptodons, probably one of my favorite Xenarthran lineages. Incidentally, sabertooths belong to the extinct subfamily Machairodontinae: a whole subfamily distinct from the Pantherinae (extant cats). I consume a lot of Pleistocene literature, which is nice break from my entomological research I usually read/publish. Cool stuff.

Lived here for over 30 yrs. Have wanted to visit the tar pits many times, when going to LACMA Museum nearby. This was a really great presentation. Thanks so much!

Why is science redundant ~ "La Brea" means The Tar in Spanish. Sooo the title in this Video ~ Translate to " The Tar Tar Pits"😂! Someone is a simpleton to write this title up😮😅 !

7:06 , HOA isn't going to like that

This defies all logic taught in public school. We were taught the tar pits was a man made ecological disaster created by pollution while oil drilling in California before the EPA implemented standards.

I just found this channel. Love it. I've heard Anza Borrego State Park has the largest collection of Western camel fossils, but i haven't been there. If you're at all interested in dinosaurs, go to the Museum of the Rockies in Bozeman Montana. It's fabulous!

great video thanks a lot

You also failed to mention that the Texas prisons were self sufficient until around 1980

That would be "the Walls" not the wall. And if you count the state jail that you referenced from the museum, there are 8 units in Huntsville. Eastham and Ferguson farms are just across the Trinity River

The Ford Theater, or some museum near it, has the chair that Lincoln was shot in. It's in a glass case on display. It's not in the best condition from what I've seen in a video showing it but you can still see the blood stains if you have that kind of morbid curiosity.

14:29 didn't know that stegosaurus were found here in my home state of Oklahoma. That's pretty cool!

Carved out by the great deluge what a no brainer quit being willfully ignorant of the world wide evidence of the global flood get born again and the light will come on

There has been fossils of all kinds found, large and small. Also many shards of pottery

When I was young I wade fished high island an noticed the beach was different mainly it had a clay bottom. Then my mother found a a shark tooth not a normal shark tooth but a fossilized shark tooth 3” long . I new it was special

Blow blow blow gotta go bye

My weekly lesson. What an interesting place and such an assortment. I'm in a white winter wonderland right now, so its nice to see vegetation. We have beautiful ferns here in the summer, however, Norfolk Island Pine are indoor houseplants here. Magnolia are the first to bloom - always a sign of spring. Love the fossils you showed. The oldest known bee fossil, being a stingless bee, from New Jersey, is 96-74 million years old. Another great video, Garrett. Thank you.

That cypress might be direct descendant from one of the old ones in the petrified forest. Imagine that.

Those palms don't look very edible for the large vegetarians.

I loved this video. Aloha from the Big Island of Hawai'i

I subscribed to you last night and I've been binge watching your content since. I love what you said at 1:49, "I'm gonna go inside the museum and see what I can learn." In all your videos I've seen thus far, you always go into the sites with an an attitude and hunger to learn, and I greatly respect that about you. A firefighter once told me, "the day I become an expert is the day I retire", and you model that with your content. Keep up the excellent work, Garrett. If I ever meet you on a historic trip, food is on me.

I'll definitely be checking this museum out. I read Battle n the Bay by Edward Cotham and that is making me want to visit. I want to visit the gravesite of Edward Lea in Galveston. His father, Albert, threatened to disown him if he fought for the Union, and upon the Second Battle of Galveston, Albert watched as the Harriet Lane was captured knowing his son was on it, and found him dying of his wounds. Albert immediately embraced his son and went to find supplies. When a Chaplain asked him if he could do anything, Edward responded, "It's okay, my father is here." When Albert arrived his son had died. Union and Confederate forces held a joint funeral in his, and everyone else who had died honor.
