    Tar Pit Bird Carpometacarpus ID?

    Hello, This is a bird Carpometacarpus wing bone said to be from the La Brea Tar Pits of LA County, California, USA, and it measures 3.7 cm. I have a few questions: 1. Could someone provide a more specific ID on the species? 2. How good of an example is it? I'm aware it's missing the thin section of bone that runs between the two distal ends, but perhaps that's not unexpected given the fragility of bird bones in general. 3. Are there any doubts to the locality? Personally I would've preferred a specimen on tar matrix because I know non-tar-pit localities like

    La Brea Tar Pit Beetle?

    Hello, Could anyone identify the species of these two beetles from the La Brea Tar Pits of Los Angeles, California, USA? The large one is 3 cm and the small one is 1 cm. I've heard the terms "water beetle" and "carrion beetle" get thrown around but it's confusing. I think the larger might be Cybister explanatus? Thanks.

    La Brea Tar Pits Bone Fragment

    Here’s an interesting one. I docent at the Page Museum at the La Brea Tar Pits, and while I was talking to some visitors one of them gave me a piece of bone fragment his father found (among many other easier to identify pieces) at the tar pits before the museum was created. I have showed to some of the researchers at la Brea, and their guess was that it was a tibia fragment from some mammal. So far based on my own comparisons, it seems closest to a dire wolf, but if anyone else has any other ideas, I’d love to hear them. Thanks!
