The astounding Mongolian mapping team working to do the large scale mapping of the area of our field site. Geology doesn’t choose convenient locations, so we had to get special permission from the Mongolian Military to work on their land. Because of this limited access, the team took every opportunity to map as many signification localities as possible. The area we went to is one of the most important field sites for studying Devonian mass-extinctions (between 372 and 359 million years ago.) Post by @felixkunze
