Oilsands please, not tarsands. Tar is a product of petroleum processing that doesn't exist by itself in nature.
La Brea Tar PitsThe La Brea Tar Pits are a cluster of
tar pits around which Hancock Park was formed, in the urban heart of Los Angeles. Asphaltum or
tar (brea in Spanish) has seeped up from the ground in this area for tens of thousands of years. The
tar is often covered with dust, leaves, or water. Over many centuries, animals that were trapped in the
tar were preserved as bones. The George C. Page Museum is dedicated to researching the
tar pits and displaying specimens from the animals that died there. The La Brea Tar Pits are now a registered National Natural Landmark.
Not relevant to Alberta, where we deal with an oil-soaked sand called bitumen, not tar. But you're from Quebec, where most of you apparently think we're bulldozing the Rocky Mountains out here to get at the "tar", so I don't expect you to know that.

Re:
La Brea;
$1:
The tar pits visible today are actually from human excavation. The lake pit was originally an asphalt mine. The other pits visible today were produced during the 1913–1915 excavations, when over 100 pits were excavated in search of large mammal bones. Various combinations of asphaltum and water have since filled in these holes. Normally, the asphalt appears in vents, hardening as it oozes out, to form stubby mounds. These can be seen in several areas of the park, as well.
Fucking LOL.
