Suspected Mongolian Dinosaur Skeleton Seized in New York | PRI's The World: "The dinosaur bones surfaced at an auction house last month and have since drawn the attention of Mongolia’s president who’s calling for the skeleton to be returned to Mongolia.
For the Geo Quiz we’re looking for the name of a vast desert, one of Asia’s largest. It covers the southern part of Mongolia and parts of China. Paleontologists consider it a treasure trove for dinosaur bones, especially the kind that were seized.
Can you name it?
Paleontologists say the bones that were seized by US feds are that of a Tyrannosaurus bataar that’s only found in Mongolia. Authorities now suspect this Tyrannosaurus-related dinosaur skeleton was smuggled out of Mongolia’s Gobi Desert, the answer to our Geo Quiz."
