Does this not prove that or am I reading it wrong:

LOS ANGELES (Feb. 18) - Scientists are studying a huge cache of Ice Age fossil deposits recovered near the famous La Brea Tar Pits in the heart of the nation's second-largest city.
Among the finds is a near-intact mammoth skeleton, a skull of an American lion and bones of saber-toothed cats, dire wolves, bison, horses, ground sloths and other mammals.

The La Brea Tar Pits ranks among the world's famous fossil sites. Between 10,000 and 40,000 years ago, mammoths, mastodons, saber-tooth cats and other Ice Age beasts became trapped by sticky asphalt that oozing upward through cracks and fissures in the ground. The newly recovered fossils were also in asphalt.

I've read that horses were here. In fact, they evolved here, starting out about the size of a Lab. Then they died out with all the other Ice Age animals. They were RE-introduced by the Spanish in the 1500's. At least that's what I've read and seen. Absorbed by osmosis since Rylen has wanted to be a paleontologist since he was 4. :-) (NT) -- Crystal, 07:52:52 02/19/09 Thu
- The only thing I find hard to separate is the fact that scientist say the raptors turned into turkeys and some other creature from that age that I posted on here awhile back turned into chickens. So were they really wiped out or just evolved into something else. If the small horses all died out, where did the big ones come from?? ....... Hap you were around back then, exactly what happened??

  - For all its appearance as a ferocious predator, Tyrannosaurus rex was just an overgrown chicken, researchers have found. .... So that tells me that when I was in school many many moons ago, but not as long ago as Hap, that my teachers LIED to me when they said the dinosaurs went EXTINCT.

    - Dinos were running around everywhere when I was a kid. (NT) -- Hap, 06:12:46 02/20/09 Fri
      - Dang it, I knew it, you were to young to remember what exactly happened. (NT) -- Varmit, 08:15:01 02/20/09 Fri
