Plantguy Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 Hey Inyo, great info as always! I've seen many of those Brea Beetles and didnt realize they were a carniverous scavenger...hmmm.. Dr. G D Woodard my old paleo instructor in college used to talk about La Brea back in the 70's and I unfortunately, now to my chagrin, didnt pay enough attention him or to get into any of his pubs or any others works on those digs. If I had I probably would have followed a paleo career path. It's very neat to revisit this So cal stuff and the current ongoing studies. On another semi-related side note, anything new with the human remains they found at La Brea...are you aware of any new thoughts/ideas that have emerged? Regards, Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auspex Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 A McKittrick scavenger beetle: They seem to have been very abundant at these tar-seep traps (a restaurant district that never closed...). The olfactory ambiance must have been pretty special!
