The '''Museo Paleontológico Megaterio''' at [[La Libertad]]'s state university, UPSE (Universidad Estatal Península de Santa Elena), is described as Ecuador's first paleontology museum.<br />
<br />
== The find ==<br />
In November 2003, works at '''Tanque Loma''' in La Libertad uncovered a remarkable Ice Age deposit: 345 complete bones and 2,969 fragments of megatherium (giant ground sloth), mastodon, glyptodont, American horse, giant llama and other animals, dated to between 30,000 and more than 50,000 years ago. The museum displays the finds.<br />
