The La Brea Tar Pits are among the most well-known petroleum seeps in the world. Over millennia, such seeps can become lake-like formations and trap unwary wildlife. Excavated animal remains at La Brea comprise nearly 700 different species, some dating back 40,000 years to the Late Pleistocene.
This specimen is a 6.00" piece of La Brea tar material which contains a variety of fossils including a Desert Cottontail rabbit, fox metatarsal, and assorted bird bones. The proximity of these fossils likely indicate that the creatures were hunting each other when they were trapped within the tar.
