About the only things weâ€™ve seen that could conceivably support say, the saber-toothed cats or dire wolves have been a herd of camels and a herd of bison, both only appearing in one episode each.

La Brea / int_17a45ff5	comment	Misplaced Wildlife: There has been no discovered fossil evidence of snakes the size of the one the attacks Riley found in 10,000 BC North America. Woolly rhinos, like the ones encountered in the first episode of Season 2, were endemic to Eurasia and there is no evidence they ever lived in North America. As animals adapted to tundra-steppe environments, they wouldn't exactly be at home in southern California, either, even in the somewhat cooler climate of 10,000 B.C. Likewise, although woolly mammoths did inhabit North America, they did not range so far south. In the same episode as the rhinos, we also see a "wild pig", played by a domestic pig but presumably meant to be a wild boar. Suids were entirely absent from the New World up until the age of European colonization many millennia later; a peccary would've been more appropriate for something pig-like in late Pleistocene California. In the season 2 finale, we see what appears to be a large monitor lizard, possibly a megalania, in a cave. In real life this species was endemic to Australia, and in fact no monitors of any kind occurred in the Americas at the time. Season 3 shows a proper (CGI) wild boar, which again were restricted to the Old World in prehistoric times.

La Brea / int_4c4bebf4	comment	Artistic License â€“ Paleontology: In the fourth episode, a giant snake— one as large as an anaconda—attacks Riley. No snake that big is known from the La Brea ecosystem. In fact, snakes that big don't live in non-tropical areas, period. The ground sloth is too large for any known species from La Brea and walks on its palms rather than the sides of its feet. The dire wolves have anatomy that is jarringly not very close to any canid living or extinct. The first episode of Season 2 introduces a woolly rhino, a species which never lived in North America. The show's Teratornis are based on outdated depictions, being essentially giant vultures (albeit with grasping feet) instead of terrestrial stalkers of small prey. The T. rex and raptors seen in Season 3 are, as usual, blatantly copied from Jurassic Park. Zig-zagged with the pterosaurs. They don't particularly match any known species, looking like toothy Pteranodon or oversized Ludodactylus but preying on smaller land animals like azhdarchids. On the flipside, they are quite accurate in terms of anatomy and the way they take off.

The shot of the glowing crevice from the previous sinkhole in the Mojave was an In-Universe example for the government investigators. When Scott and Lucas go searching for his buried drugs, they find something else: a box of gold bars from the American Civil War. In the past, Isaiah's grandfather tends to a wound on his hand. In the present, Gavin has a flash of that moment...and how he has the exact same scar. Ella remembers her past, and remembers Veronica talking to Lily from the latter's perspective.

La Brea / int_54d6f53f	comment	Ripple-Effect-Proof Memory: Zigzagged depending on the situation. Changes in the past carry forward without affecting the memory of those in the present. This is shown when Levi's crashed plane is found at the dig site recently in a section that had already been searched, even though it had been there for thousands of years and should have always been. It's also averted when it comes to certain people. Gavin lived in the ancient past under the name Isaiah, but his memories of that time are completely absent. His memories only start coming back as his younger self goes through his life, up until he goes through the portal to 1988, where he appears to fully remember everything. It's implied that Ella, whose name was Lily, is going through the same thing.

Scott buries the stash of heroin he discovered in the woods without considering that its owner might come looking for it, assuming that they either died or remained in the 21st century. Unfortunately for him, neither turns out to be the case. Mostly averted, however. From the moment they fall into the sinkhole, the main characters immediately get to work trying to ensure some stability and gathering up supplies for everyone, including food and some shelter.

This is particularly notable in episode 6, "The Way Home", when Eve and Marybeth arrive to convince Levi and Diana not to take off in the airplane. Rather than discussing the merits of each side, or even just letting people go who are willing to take the risk, Marybeth pulls a gun and then Diana does and things go south quickly.

La Brea / int_c94f1109	type	Artistic License â€“ Chemistry
La Brea / int_c94f1109	comment	Artistic License â€“ Chemistry: Radiocarbon dating simply does not work on nonbiological items, as in the ring Eve drops. Gold and diamond (and any other elements/metals used in the ring) are not biological in origin, so they cannot be carbon dated. Diamonds are indeed made of carbon, but the process of creating a diamond takes far longer than the 60,000 year limit on carbon dating. It's a bit egregious, because there are ways to date inorganic artifacts. They're not an exact science, but they would have done the trick. Eve was wearing it on a chain around her neck, so it is unlikely she left any organic material on the ring to be dated, either.
