Construction Workers Discover Over 200 Ancient Species Beneath High School
During a construction project at San Pedro High School in Los Angeles, workers uncovered millions of fossils, some dating back nearly 9 million years. The discovery includes a variety of marine life such as saber-tooth salmon, shorebirds, sea turtles, and a prehistoric megalodon. The site, located on the Palos Verdes Peninsula, revealed a rich fossil record with four Late Miocene bone-bed layers and a Pleistocene shell bed. This find is significant as it confirms the scientific theory that ancient Los Angeles was once underwater. The fossils are now being studied by researchers from various institutions, including the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County.
