Paleontology in the United States
Early in the 20th century major finds continued, such as the Ice Age mammals of the La Brea Tar Pits. Mid-to-late twentieth-century discoveries in the United States triggered the Dinosaur Renaissance as the discovery of the bird-like "Deinonychus" overturned misguided notions of dinosaurs as plodding lizard-like animals, highlighting their sophisticated physiology and apparent relationship with birds. Other notable finds in the United States include "Maiasaura", which provided early evidence for parental care in dinosaurs and ""Seismosaurus"", the largest known dinosaur.
