Today we took the girls to the La Brea Tar Pits at Page Museum, what a wonderful experience for all of us! The Page Museum has the Earth's richest and most important Ice Age fossil collection. There are many complete skeletons of fossil mammals and birds on display, there are working paleontology lab, many tar pits where paleontologists discover fossil deposits of sabertoothed cats, dire wolves, ancient bison, mastodon, mammoth and many other extinct animals from 10,000-40,000 years ago! The girls showed very strong interests and asked many questions. It's an amazing place to let the kids spend half a day seeing, learning and understanding how scientists discovered, excavate, preserve and research pre-historic animals and ecosystem.
