Researchers find two sites with fossils including saber-toothed salmon and megalodon, the huge prehistoric shark
Marine fossils dating back to as early as 8.7m years ago have been uncovered beneath a south Los Angeles high school.
On Friday, the Los Angeles Times reported that researchers had discovered two sites on the campus of San Pedro high school under which fossils including those of a saber-toothed salmon and a megalodon, the gigantic prehistoric shark, were buried.
According to the outlet, the two sites where the fossils were found include an 8.7m-year-old bone bed from the Miocene era and a 120,000-year-old shell bed from the Pleistocene era.
The discoveries were made between June 2022 and July 2024, LAist reports.
True. I remember some star wars geek on the defensive explaining the parsec screwup as the millennium falcon having a navigational computer capable of calculating a route shorter than any had managed to calculate before.
I for one really like both star trek and star wars, but I’m able to enjoy them for what they are instead of bending over backwards to defend every minutia of the writing as if it’s some religious text.
Same. Just have fun with it. It doesn’t matter. The only reason I care about those things is when I make fun of them on Ten Forward or Star Wars Memes.
