	La Brea Tar Pits - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The La Brea Tar Pits (or Rancho La Brea Tar Pits) are a famous cluster of tar pits located in Hancock Park in the Miracle Mile district of Los Angeles, California; here buried asphalt seeps to the surface from the extensive petroleum deposits below the surface of the Los Angeles Basin.
		Among the prehistoric species associated with the La Brea Tar Pits are mammoths, dire wolves, short-faced bears, ground sloths, and the state fossil of California, the saber-toothed cat, Smilodon californicus.
		Rancho La Brea is the most famous, but there are two other asphalt pits with fossils in southern California: in Carpinteria, Santa Barbara County and McKittrick, in Kern County.

	La Brea Tar Pits: A Critique of Animal Entrapment Theories
		New evidence acquired from an ongoing excavation project at Rancho La Brea has led to a major re-evaluation of how the fossils were deposited.
		This critique represents a preparatory stage in the development of a theory that discards the principle of animal entrapments and advances the concept of a diluvial process in the formation of the tar pit fossil beds.
		Considering the preponderance of carnivores in Rancho La Brea censuses, Pit 36 unquestionably lacked the space for entrapment episodes requiring as many as six carnivores pouncing on a single herbivore.

	Lessons from the La Brea Tar Pits : ChristianCourier.com
		The La Brea evidence, with its some 3,000,000 specimens, affords an excellent opportunity for the exhibition of at least a few organisms that are in-betweens—one sort of creature on-the-way to becoming something else.
		I have examined the leading works on the La Brea evidence—those of Harris & Jefferson, and that of Chester Stock, and the word “link” is not to be found in the respective indexes of these volumes.
		To a fair-minded person, therefore, the conclusion is clear: the La Brea evidence points away from the evolutionary scenario and its presuppositions (e.g., gradualism), and supports the concept of creationism and the accompanying catastrophic nature of the biblical Flood.

		Rancho La Brea is a series of asphalt deposits that have trapped various types of animals, plants, mammals, birds, insects and yes, even dinosaurs, since the Ice Age in North America.
		Whether plant life or roving animal, all the species were trapped in the sticky asphalt bog and died in the pits.
		Even though the area is commonly called the La Brea Tar Pits, it's not tar seeping to the surface, but asphalt.
