Although many isolated fossils of Velociraptor have been found in Mongolia, none were closely associated with other individuals.

The Fighting Dinosaurs is a fossil specimen which was found in the Late Cretaceous Djadokhta Formation of Mongolia in 1971. It preserves a Protoceratops andrewsi and Velociraptor mongoliensis trapped in combat about 74 million years ago [1] and provides direct evidence of predatory behavior in non-avian dinosaurs. The specimen has caused much ...

Fossils may be found either associated with a geological formation or at a single geographic site. Geological formations consist of rock that was deposited during a specific period of time. They usually extend for large areas, and sometimes there are different important sites in which the same formation is exposed.
