Dinosaurs of the Gobi
43 original fossils from one of the most important paleontological sites.
The Gobi Desert is a treasure trove of dinosaur fossils that has provided scientists with incredibly valuable evidence of the way these ancient creatures lived. These clues about the Earth's now-extinct inhabitants are on display at the 'la Caixa' Foundation Science Museum in Alcobendas.
The show features 43 original fossils dug up by Roy Chapman's during his expedition into the Gobi Desert of Mongolia in 1920. Chapman's voyage resulted in one of the most important paleontological finds of all time that has afforded modern scientists incredible insight into the lives of these enormous animals.
Aside from the expected skeletons, the exhibition features dinosaur egg nests and a fossilized Oviraptor embryo.
These fossils found in the remote Mongolian desert have provided crucial clues about dinosaurs such as the Velociraptor and the Tarbosaurus. The study of these findings is one of the most extensive in the field of paleontology and covers the widest variety of species.
This exhibition gives visitors an incredible look at the cretaceous period, particularly at the large number of carnivorous species that existed at that time.
