Dinosaur Bones

"Dinosaur bones" are the preserved remains of dinosaurs’ skeletal structures, found as fossils buried in sedimentary rock. Over millions of years, these bones mineralized, turning into stone, which allows us to study their shape, size, and anatomy. They provide vital clues about the dinosaur's physical characteristics, behaviors, and the environment they lived in. Paleontologists carefully excavate, clean, and analyze these fossils to understand Earth's prehistoric past, piece together evolutionary history, and learn about extinct species that once roamed the planet.
