The first Velociraptor [[fossil]] was found in [[Mongolia]] in the 1920s by an American Museum of Natural History expedition, and a number of fossils have been found since then in Mongolia and northern [[China]].  The most well-known find, discovered in 1971, includes a complete Velociraptor skeleton wrapped around that of a Protoceratops, an early ceratopsian and ancestor of [[Triceratops]].  The two were apparently in mid-fight when they were buried.<ref>''The Complete Book of Dinosaurs'', by Dougal Dixon, Hermes House, 2006</ref>
