LOS ANGELES (Feb. 18) - Scientists are studying a huge cache of Ice Age fossil deposits recovered near the famous La Brea Tar Pits in the heart of the nation's second-largest city.
Among the finds is a near-intact mammoth skeleton, a skull of an American lion and bones of saber-toothed cats, dire wolves, bison, horses, ground sloths and other mammals.

It's pretty intresting for me because my science class was just studying about the La Brea tar pits.:P

It is also very rare to find an intact mammoth, also which made it even more amazing.

Let's see if the mammoth remains will be useful for the future.
