The Flaming Cliffs site, also known as Bayanzag ((モンゴル語:Баянзаг)) or sometimes Bain-Dzak,〔Colbert, Edwin Harris (1984) ''The great dinosaur hunters and their discoveries'' Courier Dover, New York,(page 210 ), ISBN 978-0-486-24701-4; revised edition of ''Men and Dinosaurs'' 1st edition 1968〕 ''rich in saxaul'' or (モンゴル語:Улаан Эрэг) ''red cliffs''), is a region of the Gobi Desert in the Ömnögovi Province of Mongolia, in which important fossil finds have been made. It was given this name by American paleontologist Roy Chapman Andrews, who visited in the 1920s. The area is most famous for yielding the first discovery of dinosaur eggs. Other finds in the area include specimens of ''Velociraptor'' 〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.dinosaurcollector.150m.com/flamecliff.htm )〕 and eutherian mammals.〔Kielan-Jaworowska, Zofia (1969) ("Preliminary data on the Upper Cretaceous eutherian mammals from Bayn Dzak, Gobi Desert" ) ''Palaeontologia Polonica'' No. 19: pp. 171–206〕 It is illegal here to remove fossils without appropriate permits. The red or orange color of the sandstone cliffs (especially at a sunset), hence the nickname.〔( Jane Blunden .
