Flaming Cliffs

Flaming Cliffs

The Flaming Cliffs site, really Bayanzag ( _mn. Баянзаг, "rich in saxaul" or _mn. Улаан Эрэг "red cliffs"), is a region of the Gobi Desert in Mongolia, in which important fossil finds have been made. It was given this name by American paleontologist Roy Chapman Andrews, who visited in the 1920s. The area is most famous for yielding the first discovery of dinosaur eggs. Other finds in the area include specimens of Velociraptor. The rock gives off a glowing orange colour, hence the nickname.
