Have the remains of any dinosaurs ever been found at La Brea?

No. Dinosaurs are not found at Rancho La Brea. Dinosaurs were 65 million years extinct by the time the entrapment record began at La Brea. Los Angeles, in addition, was submerged beneath ocean waters during the reign of the dinosaurs. And lastly, the fossils unearthed at La Brea belong primarily to extinct mammals and birds; dinosaurs were reptiles.
