Dinosaurs from La Brea Tar Pits --??--

[Fred Gunther <fgunther@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Found the following on the WWW.  The gross level of public paleontology 
errors has reached a new high (low ??).  Some one at UCB should know 
better than  to suggest that dinosaur bones come from the La Brea Tar Pits.

The Sather language gets its name from the Sather Tower (popularly
known as the Campanile), the best-known landmark of the University of
California at Berkeley.  A symbol of the city and the University, it
is the Berkeley equivalent of the Golden Gate bridge.  Erected in
1914, the tower is modeled after St. Mark's Campanile in Venice,
Italy. It is smaller and a bit younger than the Eiffel tower, and
closer to most Americans -- and lovers of Venice of course.  Yet, at
307 feet it houses 50 tons of human, dinosaur and other animal bones
mostly collected from the La Brea Tar Pits.
