We have completed another year in the Gobi Desert, and this season we collected more than 80 skeletons of Psittacosaurus bringing our collection up to nearly 200 specimens.  One hundred and seventy seven will be used for a special study to be conducted by our new Mongolian doctoral student Badmaa Zorgit.  Besides the many Psittacosaurus skeletons we also found portions of other dinosaurs including a large meat-eater, and a possible Stegosaurus-like dinosaur.
 
This years Mongolia crew included doctoral students John Scannella, Denver Fowler, and Badmaa Zorgit, our new post-doc for 2008, Bolor Minjin, our new Master's student Bassanjav, Nels Peterson, and myself.  We also had a crew of 4 other Mongolians.
