Happy International Snow Leopard Day! 🐾
During our latest expedition, our camera trap captured a mother with three cubs, a relatively uncommon litter size, as snow leopards usually have one or two. A rare and joyful sight, this glimpse into their secretive world is a positive sign that these elusive predators are breeding successfully and thriving,bringing hope for their conservation despite ongoing challenges.

New on the Blog: How Citizen Science Is Bringing Travelers into Real Research ⛏️🦕

Through our citizen science expeditions, researchers and travelers work side by side to uncover fossils that illuminate life in the Late Cretaceous world. Each find—documented, mapped, and cataloged in real time, contributes to Mongolia’s growing scientific legacy.

Learn more about our ongoing journey on the blog🙌

Dig up fossils, support real research, and explore Mongolia’s breathtaking Gobi Desert — all as part of the Dinosaurs of Mongolia expedition.

Mammal fossils are exceptionally rare worldwide, with most discoveries limited to teeth and jaw fragments. For this reason, the recovery of a “nearly complete small mammal skeleton” during this expedition’s excavations is an extraordinary event.

Found within the same deposits that have yielded some of the Gobi’s most iconic dinosaur fossils, this specimen offers an unprecedented opportunity to study the anatomy of a species previously known only from fragmentary remains. Mongolia is among the world’s most important regions for understanding early mammal evolution, and this discovery has the potential to reshape our knowledge of this group’s diversity, ecology, and evolutionary history during the Late Cretaceous.

Some scientific discoveries are like carving a wood sculpture (=takes hours, months, or years of meticulous work), whereas some discoveries come with a change of perspective like symbolism in Renaissance paintings. The moment you realize what you are looking at, it's everywhere. We were treated with such a special discovery in 2025. In addition to spectacular dinosaur skeletons that will awe our friends back home, the 2025 crew clicked in the first few days out in the field after a casual pickup of vertebrae of Cretaceous fish. Now with that new search image, we have seen these supposedly rare fish fossils in great numbers at almost every locality we visited. The way they are associated with the dinosaur skeletons gives us a new tool to understand Cretaceous ecology that we had missed before when we were oblivious to such fragile and obscure fish bones - how dinosaurs and fish interacted, how they died together, and how they became preserved. This 'a-ha' moment, when something makes sense, is what scientists live for, and it is a privilege that we get to experience it against such a breathtakingly beautiful country!

An unexpected discovery when collecting a Tarbosaurus skeleton was the association of many articulated and partial fish skeletons. They were probably scavenging the rotting body of the dinosaur as it was lying in the water. Very little is known about the fish of the region, so finding so many good specimens was a major discovery that will help identify types and diversity of the fish that lived in this area.
