Comment on this resource
This site discusses the fossils of a Velociraptor and a Protoceratops that were evidently fighting and somehow were buried in mid fight. There are three parts to the site. The first part allows the student to view the fossil through the eyes of a paleontologist. The second part explores some theories of how the animals were rapidly buried and the third part gives students the opportunity to match photographs of fossils with their description.
