Also for #FossilFriday if a bit peripheral: today @metrolosangeles.bsky.social opened its new four-mile D Line w/ new stations along Wilshire Blvd. at La Brea, Fairfax, & La Cienega. Station excavations produced numerous Ice Age fossils - some of which are represented in on new tap cards! #RideTheD

A "tap card" for the Los Angeles D- Line Extension subway system that depicts Ice Age marine invertebrate fossils and a specimen tag along with the phrase, "History that moves us."

Fossils from the Station excavations, as well as the nearby Rancho La Brea "tar pits" @tarpits.org are also featured in the station artwork, with images of fossils depicted on the walls. #FossilFriday #RideTheD

Artistically rendered (i.e., a bit blurry) images of a Pleistocene mammoth skull and rib depicted on the wall of the new La Brea Station for the D Line Subway Extension in Los Angeles. A largely complete mammoth skull and other mammoth bones were actually discovered during excavation for the station.
