No expertise but wild grab bag guess-Copernicia tectorum. Quite a few at Fairchild and environs.

Now that you mention tectorum, what was throwing me off was tectorum often retains the leaf bases on the entire trunk in many photos, but not all.  I found Palmpedia has a lot of good photos of tectorum. I believe you guys are right, thanks. It actually is quite a spectacular palm. I’m impressed by the stand photographed in Venezuela(photo attached).

Here’s what was throwing me off, the entire trunk covered in leaf bases. Possibly on the younger trees.

NIce palms.  Also in these pics, the ones with leaf bases are cultivated, and the ones without are wild. The former are more likely to have a gardener come snip the brown leaves off. Without the weight of the entire leaf, they take longer to fall off naturally.
