Ulaanbaatar
Central Museum of Mongolian Dinosaurs
映像Over 70 million-year-old dinosaur fossils returned to Mongolia in the spring of 2013, after the President of Mongolia took actions on the alleged report that the Tyrannosaurus Bataar fossils that had been found in Mongolia were to be sold for USD 1.085 million at an auction in the US.
With the help of an international court, Mongolia received its rare finding of Tyrannosaurus Bataar fossils and displayed in a special facility at the Central square of Ulaanbaatar city for the public. This event was the start of the establishment of the Museum of Mongolian Dinosaurs, which was then put into operation by the autumn of 2013.
The Central Museum of Mongolian Dinosaurs, located in the Chingeltei District of Ulaanbaatar city, is aimed at protecting and preserving findings of dinosaurs, displaying them to the public and passing those heritages down to the next generations. The Museum is also working to seek for any dinosaur fossils initially found in Mongolia and to register the rare items and create a database.
The museum accommodates many types of interesting paleontological findings, dinosaur fossils and eggs such as Tarbosaurus bataar, Saurolophus, Oviraptorosauria, Ankylosauridae, Protoceratops, Ornithomimosauria, Prenocephale, Lycoptera, Conchostrace and Ephemeroptera.
