Protoceratops Socks
Description: In 1922, Roy Chapman Andrews led an expedition to explore the inner reaches of the Gobi Desert in Mongolia. The expedition was taken on behalf of the American Museum of Natural History in the hopes of finding fossil evidence of the early origins of humans, while no early human remains were found on the trip they did find numerous new species of extinct mammals and many new species of dinosaur. Included in these specimens was a small relative of Triceratops (the famous horned dinosaur discovered in North America in 1887), it was only about the size of a small sheep, measuring around 5.9 feet in length and was only an estimated 182 pounds in weight.
Description: During the 1971 Polish-Mongolian paleontological expedition to Mongolia's Gobi desert, an articulated Velociraptor mongoliensis skeleton was found with hands and feet grasping a Protoceratops andrewsi. The two fighting dinosaurs were killed immediately, possibly in a dune collapse, as the Protoceratops bit down on the arm of its assailant.
