Sidenote, Beverly Hills high school makes a tidy sum from the oil derrick on school property , same oil field that feeds the
tar pits . This school has all the best even an indoor basketball court that has a floor that hydraulically retracts to
reveal a Olympic sized swimming pool ..... I guess to make this shell related I'd better get with the program ....
ON ELUTHERA WE FOUND LAND SHELLS THAT are commonly called "peanut shells" ... anyone have a latin name / author an date for
these or shell they remain in the drawer listed as "JOHN DOE-formis"
Thanks for the info , Mark And Peta Bethke

|I was at the tar pits once. It is amazing. You hear all about it and then go

|have to imagine it before L.A. They have skeletons of prehistoric animals and
|a lot of dioramas depicting life at that time. Wonderful wonderful.

|Hope you get to see the tar pits.
