The LACM Rancho La Brea collections hold 3-5 million fossil specimens covering ~50,000 years to near present day. They hold the world's largest collection of extinct megafauna and are particularly well known for the vast osteological collections of carnivores and birds. In addition, the collections include botany, arthropods, molluscs and small vertebrates, including fishes, amphibian, reptiles and mammals, as well as a few artifacts. The collections are all from the vicinity of the Rancho La Brea National Natural Landmark, mostly within the Los Angeles County park called Hancock Park.
