Digging at the Dino Death Trap

Jackpot! Paleontologists hit a goldmine of fossils when they dig in China’s western Gobi desert, finding dinosaurs piled one on top the other. Scientists believe the field was a prehistoric predator trap, where one stuck dino would draw a predator, who also gets trapped, intertwined in its prey’s fate.
