cousins. Fewer than one thousand individuals are thought to persist across north‑western China and south‑western Mongolia. The species, Camelus ferus, inhabits isolated desert stretches where fresh water is rare, temperatures swing dramatically, and...

After being stolen from Mongolia in 2006, a collection of dinosaur fossils faced a complex, multi-year international journey to finally return home. A collection of 29 sets of dinosaur fossils, illegally taken from Mongolia nearly two decades ago, has...

Archaeologists have uncovered a sophisticated system of underground passages beneath Houchengzui Stone City in Inner Mongolia, offering fresh insights into the scale of Neolithic urban design in northern China. Situated on the northern bank of the Hun...

near Hami in Xinjiang. The plant joins a series of massive projects, including the expansive “Great Solar Wall” in Inner Mongolia, aimed at boosting renewable electricity output while tackling the intermittency that plagues conventional photovoltaics....

fossil, sparking intense debate and mystery among paleontological experts. A routine survey for copper deposits in Inner Mongolia has led to an unexpected paleontological milestone. While drilling 473 meters beneath the surface near the settlement of...

ceiling for these estimates, assuming that if animals had been present, they would have been captured in the sediment. The Mongolian Fossil Evidence To test this assumption, the research team analyzed the Kheseen Biota in Mongolia, a set of phosphatized...

quirk associated with its youth. The discovery provides essential data to fill gaps in the fossil record for western Inner Mongolia. While the Bayan Gobi Formation is often compared to the prolific Jehol Biota of Western Liaoning, the scarcity of...

of the new species, Qayaqgruk peregrinus, shares close anatomical features with a contemporaneous mammal from present‑day Mongolia. This relationship points to a migration event that carried its ancestors from Asia into North America roughly 92 million...

time as the smallest known egg of a carnivorous dinosaur. Comparable eggs with similar shell textures have been found in Mongolia and the United States and were previously linked to the theropod Troodon. Researchers later entertained the possibility...

evolutionary history of an entire group of ancient mammals. However, the discovery of a remarkably complete skeleton in Mongolia has upended those long-standing assumptions, proving that dental anatomy can be a deceptive guide to an animal’s true...
