Analysis of the bones will determine their origin, although they appear to be of a mammoth or mastodon given their size, said Cara Corsetti, director of the paleontology program for SWCA Environmental Consultants.
As recently as 10,000 years ago, mammoths, mastodons and other Ice Age creatures were common in Southern California.
La Mirada is about 25 miles southeast of downtown Los Angeles.

3. Workers Unearth Mastodon Remains at Construction Site

Only a few mastodons have ever been found in this area," said Cara Corsetti, project manager for paleontology at SWCA Environmental Consultants in Mission Viejo, which sent scientists to the Simi Valley site to excavate the mastodon. "We find a lot of marine mammals in this area--whales, sea lions, seals, walruses, early representatives of the sea cow group, but no mastodons."
A huge mastodon was found in 1997 near Hemet during construction of a dam in Riverside County.
While mastodon skeletons are rare, pygmy mammoth remains have been found on the Channel Islands. Scientists believe there was once either a land bridge to the islands or that the animals swam there.
