The Nemegt Basin is a geographical area in the northwestern Gobi Desert, in Ömnögovi Province, southern Mongolia.[1] It is known locally as the "Valley of the Dragons", since it is a source of many fossil finds, including dinosaurs, dinosaur eggs and trace fossils.[2]
The main geological formations in the area are the Nemegt Formation, Barun Goyot Formation and Djadochta Formation, in order of age, from youngest (most superficial) to oldest (deepest).[3][4]
