Many Mongolian dinosaur fossils arrived at the Nakasato Dinosaur Center for the special exhibition like a bunch of jigsaw puzzle pieces!
Nakasato and Mongolian staff completed these 3D-, complicated puzzles with many steel supports, clamps, and so on... Learn how these dinosaurs in the museum were reconstructed and mounted, then you'll have a new view of museum exhibits.

'Replicas' are elaborate duplicates of specimen. Mongolian dinosaur fossils were carefully molded and casted by Maruo and his team staff. Their excellent job is featured in these pages for those who like to know how dinosaur fossils are duplicated.

A Japanese college student Takei, flew all the way to Gobi from Japan as a excavation volunteer in the summer of 1996, found an entire body of dinosaur on the last day of digging, but he had to leave the site without knowing what was found....
Two months later, a big news from Mongolia surprised him.
(A similar Japanese digging tour to Gobi was organized in next and also this season. 1998-99 expedition is supported by Nakasato.)
