Today's focus is the La Brea Tar Pits in Los Angeles, one of the richest fossil sites in the entire world. More than 3.5m specimens from over 600 species have been found here! 😮 So, why did so many animals meet their demise at & what can we learn from them?

For my first post on this the fantastic appendages of Anomalocaris magnabasis! Unlike Anomalocaris canandensis, A. magnabasis had a bunch of thin “spinules” projecting from the front side of each spine, used to help snare soft prey.
