A Cryptozoologist at Rancho La Brea
Posted by: Loren Coleman on October 11th, 2010
A trip into the Pleistocene means some associated megafauna moments. Here are some images from some time at the George Page Museum at the La Brea tar pits:
The Panthera atrox at the entrance.
Teratorn display.
Margie Bertram, the education director at the Page Museum, and my host for the day.
With Dr. Shelley M. Cox, the museum’s leading expert in short-faced bears (Arctodus).

My office is right across the street from the Pits and the Page museum. Great place, and I go there frequently!
Thanks for sharing that. I geek-LOVE that place. Do they still have in their giftshop the cast metal copper plated replicas of the Columbian Mammoth and the Smilodon? That Charles R. Knight artwork is iconic.
