The La Brea Tar Pits Have Been Sucking in Visitors for Millennia. Paleontologists Are Still Finding Out What Lies Within the Ooze In Los Angeles, scientists are delighted to decode one of the richest fossil records on Earth

"For scientists, the La Brea death trap matters because the animals entombed here, now mostly extinct, are remnants of a lost North America. Not long ago, big scary animals, both predator and prey, dominated the landscape."

When you notice something in the distance but aren't sure what it is, then you realize you're looking at someone looking at you, then you wonder if they realize you've realized they're looking at you, that's scary.

Trilobite found by a friend near Alnif, Morocco.

This one is preserved with clear segmentation and typical body shape. I used the macro mode on my phone camera to capture the details.
