• For millions of years, the remains of marine plankton collected in the bottom of an ocean basin off the coast of what is now California. Over time, this deposit was transformed into crude oil. As the continent drifted and the California coast lifted, the oil crept through cracks in the rocks, pooling on the surface in what is now downtown Los Angeles. Exit 93

• Beginning about 40,000 years ago, the sticky oil gathered in pools, where lighter compounds evaporated, leaving thick asphalt behind. Covered by water, leaves, and weeds, these tarry pits looked like normal ground. Animals would walk over the crusty top, then suddenly find themselves mired in the muck. Predators and scavengers trying to prey upon the victims would also get stuck. Their bones sank to the bottom and became fossilized. • The native tribes used the tar to seal baskets and boats. Spanish explorers made the first written record of the tar pits in 1769. The first permanent settlement was established in the late 1700s. The Spanish word for tar is “brea” and the area became known as Rancho La Brea. (continued next page)
