Dinosaurs wolves and mamoths

I have passed by the Page Museum twice a day at least five days a week for the past 4 years and have never gone in. Los Angeles is like that, you pass by a place a million times, but it is often because you are on your way to some place else.

For Ciclavia I wasn't really on my way anywhere, just east and the Page ended up being on that path. The page museum sits at the site of Rancho La Brea which used to be cattle ranches, pretty hard to believe, although it is on museum row, it still is one of the more active and more stinky fossil sites.

I was pretty amazed at its collection and had no idea mastadons/mammoths only had 4 huge molars in their mouths, like super huge like the size of my head.

Here are some photos.
