Flaming Cliffs

The Flaming Cliffs site (also known as Bayanzag, Bayn Dzak)[1] (Mongolian: Баянзаг rich in saxaul), with the alternative Mongolian name of Mongolian: Улаан Эрэг (red cliffs), is a region of the Gobi Desert in the Ömnögovi Province of Mongolia, in which important fossil finds have been made.

It was given this name by American paleontologist Roy Chapman Andrews, who visited in the 1920s.

Other finds in the area include specimens of Velociraptor[2] and eutherian mammals.

[4] The nickname refers to the red or orange color of the sandstone cliffs (especially at a sunset).
