Three weeks in the Gobi Desert excavating dinosaur bones and visiting the 'Dragon's Tomb' - sound like fun? You bet, says UNE dinosaur expert Dr Phil Bell and his PhD student Nathan Enriquez, who recently returned from an expedition to the "dinosaur mecca" in remote southern Mongolia.
The pair joined palaeontologists from Mongolia, Canada and America on the barren flanks of Nemegt Mountain to dig for what remained of a giant sauropod that roamed the landscape 70 million years ago. Nemegtosaurus, a long-necked, herbivorous dinosaur more than 10 metres long, is one of many species found in this renowned deposit.
