Los Angeles has not always just been the home to famous actors and wannabe starlets. Just a block away from the Oscar’s Red Carpet, saber-tooth cats once prowled until they were trapped in a pit of tar.

Long-necked sea creatures fought underwater battles, continental plates clashed, earthquakes rocked and volcanoes spewed all in the city of Angels.
