La Brea Tar Pits receives largest-ever donation toward new Ice Age research center as part of campus makeover Thanks to its largest-ever donation, the La Brea Tar Pits will now house the Samuel Oschin Global Center for Ice Age Research.

Nice to see this wonderful, world famous fossil site getting the support it needs to move forward with plans to renovate the campus! #RanchoLaBrea #TarPits #Pleistocene #Fossils #IceAge
