Abstract
a Konzentrat-Lagerstätte in Los Angeles that has produced many complete specimens of mammals and birds of the late Pleistocene. The bones are impregnated by asphalt, with little degradation of bone structure or proteins; very little soft tissue is preserved, however. More fossil birds have been produced here than anywhere else. The United States, dated between 38,000 and 11,000 years ago.
