Learning on ScreenGhosts in the Dinosaur Graveyard
- Synopsis
- The Gobi Desert of Mongolia is the world’s harshest places and its greatest dinosaur graveyard. An expedition from the American Museum of Natural History follows in the 1920s’ footsteps of one of the last great fossil-hunting explorers, Roy Chapman Andrews, perhaps the ‘real’ Indiana Jones. They are looking for fossils to show how mammals gained a toe-hold on earth, and for evidence that dinosaurs never really became extinct but exist today as birds.
