Note: “Judging by the finds, the animals that laid these eggs (predatory dinosaurs) sometimes nested in separate pairs or groups alongside of near Protoceratops colonies. Remains of Velociraptor are common at the Tugrikiyn-Shire locality. A unique specimen “interlocked” complete skeletons of a Velociraptor and Protoceratops has been found at the same place.
