Construction Project at San Pedro High School Uncovers Millions of Ancient Fossils
A construction project at San Pedro High School in Los Angeles has led to the discovery of millions of fossils, some dating back nearly 9 million years. The renovation project, which began in 2022, unearthed a variety of marine fossils, including saber-tooth salmon, shorebirds, sea turtles, and a prehistoric megalodon. The findings represent an entire marine ecosystem from the Miocene era, providing a rare glimpse into the past. The fossils are now being studied by researchers from various institutions, including the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County. The discovery has sparked interest among students and researchers alike, with some students even participating in the research process.
