Which Dinosaurs Lived in Mongolia?

Asia’s largest desert Mongolian Gobi was once paradise for plants and animals, including dinosaurs. Many paleontologists say that it was also a site of mass extinction, where avalanche-like sudden sand-slides both swept dinosaurs away and preserved their remains. Gobi Desert is the place that the first proved dinosaurs laid eggs. First in 1922, famous Roy Chapman Andrews, director of the American Museum of Natural History led the paleontological expedition into the Mongolian Gobi.
