Dinosaurs of the Gobi
Have you ever dreamed of discovering a dinosaur fossil? Join noted paleontologist, Dr. Philip Currie, for the trip of a lifetime to the remote fossil beds of the Nemegt Basin and the cliffs of Hermyn Tsav, two of the world's premier fossil sites located in Mongolia. Working under the auspices of the Mongolian Academy of Sciences with the guidance of Dr. Currie, Curator of Dinosaurs at the Royal Tyrrell Museum in Canada, expedition members will have the opportunity to prospect for and excavate fossils from the legendary Gobi desert, home to some of the most exciting finds of the century. The Gobi is considered by many to be the "Mecca" of the fossil world, and due to its remote location and difficult terrain, the desert is still rich with fossils recording the Late Cretaceous Period. Past members of our paleontological expeditions have made significant finds such as a huge Tarborsaurus jaw (a relative of Tyrannosaurous Rex), dinosaur eggs, Velociraptor claws, and Protoceratops skulls. In this rich desert setting, travelers will feel like explorers from a bygone age as they excavate fossils under the supervision of Dr. Currie and Dr. Badamgarav, one of Mongolia's leading paleontologists.
