Right in the heart of L.A. sits the world’s most powerful gateway to the Ice Age. The asphalt seeps at La Brea Tar Pits are the only active urban fossil dig site in the world. Plants and animals from the last 50,000 years are discovered here every day. Outside, you can watch excavators carve fossils out of the asphalt. Inside the museum, our staff prepares these discoveries in the see-through Fossil Lab. You'll see final result in our exhibitions: extraordinary saber-toothed cats, mammoths, dire

In the sticky oil seeps known as the La Brea Tar Pits, the tiny petroleum fly and their larvae thrive in the natural asphalt that oozes up to the surface. The larvae hunt among the fossilized bones of dire wolves, mammoths and saber-toothed cats. | Deep Look • PBS

💡 Did you know that the Tar Pits' iconic Lake Pit is a pit left over from asphalt mining operations in the late 1800s? Over the years, rain and groundwater have collected above the bubbling asphalt, creating a small lake with bubbles, sheet, and distinctive odor that comes from a deep underground oil field.

Get an inside look at how we extract fossils from asphalt. We often liken our dig sites to "fossil gumbo" because the bones are normally jumbled together and very difficult to pick apart. But sometimes, all it takes is a little wiggle to find gorgeous specimens like this saber-toothed cat cervical vertebra (neck bone). | La Brea Tar Pits and Museum

The Carpinteria Tar Pits at Carpinteria State Beach are located in a designated area called Tar Pits Park. The Carpinteria Tar Pits are one of five natural asphalt lake areas in the world, 2nd in size to and older than the La Brea Tar Pits in Los Angeles. These tar pits date back to the Pleistocene Age (Ice Epoch), 2.6 million to 11,700 years ago. Before Europeans arrived here, Mishopshnow was the name of a large coastal village of hunting people and Canalino/Chumash. Tar from this area was used

At Tar Pits Park in Carpinteria, next to Carpinteria State Beach campground, you'll see tar oozing out the rocks. The Carpinteria Tar Pits is one of only five natural asphalt lake areas in the world! The tar here was used by the Canalino/Chumash Indians for tomols (canoes) and sealing water baskets. Something quite unique to our local area and just 40 minutes from the Conejo Valley.
