#FossilFriday #MADEx24 team’s last few days in this year fieldwork. The Bayanshiree Fm is known to rich the most major vertebrate groups. But, question I have is this year we found several ankylosaurs one example is anterior L & R dentaries with a nice suture besides microsites.

Last two days of our #MADEx24 expedition and I’ve found two partial skeletons of a new trodontid #raptor #dinosaur. Great way to wrap up the #gobi season. Gotta get this beaut out! #dinodig24

A psittacosaur skull hiding under our last troodontid skeleton was a nice surprise on our last day of the #MADEx24 expedition. Jacket pulled and that’s a wrap folks! #dinodig24

#FossilFriday DAY-13. #MADEx24 team started to close down “Shangri-La” quarry at the Eastern Gobi & be ready to move to the last basecamp of this year in a few days after loading up this big girl, which is weighing ~ more than 2,000 lb and the one of the largest hadrosauroids.

Can’t believe this went off without a hitch. Clean separation, flip, and load of a 2,000 lb block of hadrosaur. A very good day indeed #MADEx24 #dinodig24

Someone pls tell me why we always find our sauropods in sandstone? And doubly why I don’t just walk away? #MADEx24 #dinodig24

Hail Core! Amazing photo from the west end of the Salt Lake Valley showing a severe-warned thunderstorm absolutely dumping on the east bench of SLC. Incredible photo here showing that sharp line of clear skies and heavy precip. #utwx 📍: Herriman, UT 📸: David Johnston

Kamaz are incredible off-road trucks and easy to repair but they sure make you work for it. We’ve broken down three times. Anxious to get to base camp 2 and hit the outcrop. #MADEx24 #dinodig24

western Gobi yielded hatchling psittacosaur skeletons like this tiny jaw. As much as we love baby psittacosaurs, we’re packing up early and moving to base camp two - a totally new area. Hopes are high! #MADEx24 #dinodig24

Had a wonderful chance to meet the great-grandkids (and great-great-grandkids) of Canada's first vertebrate palaeontologist Lawrence Lambe last week. It was surreal showing of his holotypes of Euoplocephalus, Styracosaurus, Gorgosaurus, and more. #CMNPalaeo

New dinosaur! Meet Fona herzogae, a new small bodied thescelosaurine from Cedar Mountain Fm, Utah. It fills a gap in our understanding of early diverging ornithischians, revealing they were well-established in N. America by the Cenomanian Avrahami et al: doi.org/10.1002/ar.255…

We went up the cliffs today. The black gate of Mordor is the last major hill out of the area 😭 and then home free. #dinodig24

Checking out the mid-Cretaceous Straight Cliffs Formation with old friends. A newly discovered tyrannosaur caudal makes the day much sweeter. #dinodig24 #FossilFriday #livefromthefield
