In real life
A real fossil desert
In Mongolia, in the Gobi Desert, water and wind have worn away the rock for millions of years. That's how dinosaur fossils came back to the surface. [1]
The climate there has become very dry and few plants grow: so fossils are easy to spot. [1]
In the 1920s, paleontologist Roy Andrews, from the American Museum of Natural History, found a fossilized dinosaur nest there. He also found the first known Velociraptor fossils. [1]
In 1993, another team from this museum discovered the Ukhaa Tolgod site. Lots and lots of Velociraptor skeletons were found there, and fossils of baby dinosaurs still inside their eggs. [1]
