The Mongolian Gobi Desert was the first place in the world where, in 1922, it was discovered that dinosaurs laid eggs. Since then, sites such as the Flaming Cliffs, have provided a veritable treasure trove of dinosaur remains from the Late Cretaceous. Most famous of the Mongolian dinosaurs is Tarbosaurus Bataar – a close cousin of the T Rex, which lived 70 million years ago in what is now North America. Mongolia is currently hosting the IV International Symposium on Asian Dinosaurs for first time. The two-day symposium is being held at National University of Mongolia. Nearly 100 delegates and representatives from 11 countries such as Russia, South Korea, China, Canada, Denmark, Thailand and Taiwan are participating in the event.

During the symposium, Asian palaeontologists have suggested Mongolia establishes its own Dinosaur Park as a land of the dinosaurs.

First in 1922, famous Roy Chapman Andrews, director of the American Museum of Natural History led a paleontological expedition into the Mongolian Gobi.  Since that Soviet, Polish, Japan and Chinese teams led paleontological expeditions into the Gobi.
