- It’s raining fossils 80 feet below Wilshire Boulevard as L.A. Metro continues its expansion of the Purple Line through Beverly Hills. Paleontologists have already found 2,000 ice age fossils in dirt dug by the new construction including a two-foot bison horn, a mammoth knuckle and a shin bone from an early camel ancestor.In this immersive VR 180 video, Metro paleontological monitor Bethany Ader takes you on a tour of a subway cavern 80 feet beneath the ground where the prehistoric bison horn was found. You’ll also visit with Dr. Ashley Ledger, a paleontologist at Cogstone Resource Management Lab in Riverside who is processing LA’s latest fossil discoveries.Ledger says the the Metro Purple Line expansion for a paleontologist is a “dream come true.”

I have a family member that worked on the excavation for LACMA's underground parking garage. They had to pause their project when they unearthed the first of almost a dozen ice age fossils. Really cool stuff.
Your enthusiasm is contagious. I really enjoyed this walk thru your finds. Thank you for making this video.
This is fascinating. Would love to see more information like this. Dr. Ledger is awesome too!
Agreed
This was great!!! More 180 VR videos like this please!
And in the 3 years, we have been working on the 5 mile Purple Line extension China added another 3,000 miles of high-speed mag lift.
Authoritarianism is easy and quick. Democracy is messy and takes time.
Love your passion and dedication! Thank you
Does the "Play in App" button work?
Did it find rock and roll? It's been missing since 1991
Go get a rock, and then roll it. Then you will have rock and roll back again.
Enjoyed this video thank you for uploadling it
Amazing Video! ... and an awesome professional!
Any of that dirt at the back of LA Air Force base on Aviation been sifted through?
Enjoyed the video! Keep it up :)
Lol as if LAs transportation system was not already enough of a nightmare the subway needs to become a never ending archeological dig
Those bones did not fossilized because they are not millions of years old they’re probably a few thousand years old only
Another religious nut talking...
This is so fascinating
How did you make it VR
So how does stuff like this end up so deep in the ground? Has there really been that much deposition? Has the elevation of the surrounding area changed that much?
yes
at my great grandfather's (still in the family for 143 years) farm the creek bed has changed about 9 feet in the last 50 years. soft soil can erode pretty quick.
Great video, presented in a clear and interesting way by a very down-to-earth young paleontologist. I enjoyed this - thanks so much and I hope you continue to make amazing finds ! (Camels on Wilshire ! :DDD)
So... how did the animals all get on the subway then? (Mind blown... *explosion sounds*...)
Omg. How do I make this my job??? Please!
What all will the boring machines destroy....?
Find any Oil?
Find any transitional fossils?
Yes. All fossils are transitional. Today, there are roughly 7 billion transitional people on earth. And btw, man is still adapting to its environment: www.sci-news.com/medicine/fabella-07116.html
Also, we're taller than we used to be. And all the domesticated animals and pets are what happens when we apply artificial selection aggressively.
This dirt here can grow any vegetable with a very high level of nutrients .
That is interesting
How did this get so few thumbs up? This is very fascinating and informative! Thank you for sharing this! 🤗❤👍👍👍
I forgot I had my Jordan's on, now they're dirty 😡😡😡
Hey, something good actually came out of the Purple Line project! Now, if only its entire geographic footprint could become an archaeological dig instead of the foolishly planned Metro rail line...
Now jokes aside this is super interesting, thank yall so much for this perfectly produced media
Did you find any human artifacts down there?
This looks like a video game instead of actual footage. Strange in naming the specimen "Haden" as if it's a pet when it's really a part of a bone. Or if you are naming that actual animal that name as if it's your long lost pet. My direct point: Haden does not sound anything like the name of a bone itself. Sounds more like the name of a pet, or a person's name.
Lol the la brea tarpits anyone? Why the hell wouldn't you find fossils.
Did she just say camels were native to California ,Wut ! 🌴🏜️🚬🚬🚬🚬🚬🚬
steven pursley All my life I thought camels were from the middle East, that's why
@steven pursley I guess they don't teach the sciences like they used to.
Be carful there’s gasses there
They don't seem to have any concerns so I would guess they are breathing fresh air. These people know what they are doing.
Can you imagine what you would have found if you were digging the hole not digging through the tailings . Smh
Imagine how none of it would have been found if they didn't dig.
Cool, ❤️
Buried from earthquake triggered tsunami? Or volcanism, or what?
What if i just ate all the fossils
California isn't all native to California!
Heh. This looks like a video game!
Sounds like Native American stuff...
You know it wasn’t LA then, right? 🤑
iT wAs MexICo
@@CertifiedShovelOperator no it was spain before Mexico and before that it was Indian.
not even 2 min into the video....she says "we transported it to our lab" Why would someone building a subway have a need of there own lab?
These are paleontologists who are working alongside the subway builders in order to recover these fossils. The La Brea Tar Pits Museum where they do their research is literally a block away.
wow i didnt even know they were making a subway in LA! ha, its about time!!! jeesh
@Elizabeth Bennet = The Blue Line (later renamed Purple in 2006) opened and began operations in 1990 followed by the Red Line in 1993, so it's been about 30 years now and these are the only 2 underground subway lines; all other lines operate at street surface and/or elevated levels = Google "Los Angeles Metro Rail"
This being in VR adds nothing and maybe is worse than a normal video. VR is more suited to experiences like a roller coaster not lecture style videos where we are just looking at one person.
It's Hollywood props
It's props to Hollywood.
nice story crappy quality though.
great presentation. thank you very much, i like fossils, i want to learn more about discoveries from our past, without deception, ie: pyramids and the control of knowledge. reverse engineer them already, haven't 'we the people' gained collective consciousness yet? you made my day. as mr. burrows said "give it all back '
The friendly ferryboat methodically bruise because yew intracellularly pretend onto a low recess. wasteful, sable den
Demol
Demolitions are tending to be unlawful. Hot thaw doesn't kill
