how can we discover dinosaur bone?

Answer 1

in rare cases the wind erosion will blow dirt or sand off of a buried bone and reveal it. Archaeologists will usually dig in key places where bones are common.

Answer 2

First off, you need to be in an area where you can find dinosaur bones. Not all parts of the world have dinosaur bones buried under them. You will need to find a geological map and you will need to identify areas that are from the Mesozoic.

Next up, you need to go someplace where the bones can be uncovered easily. Areas where water erodes are best. Go after a good rain and pay attention to where the water has removed dirt and/or rock. Also, areas where there are landslides can reveal dinosaur bones. Of course, you will need to be very careful in places like that.

Realizing you are looking at dinosaur bone is the tricky part. It is not always apparant at first. I went on a dig one time and the teacher started picking up some pebbles to show to the class. I thought they were pebbles. They turned out to be vertabrae. When they were on the ground, I would have never recognized them as dinosaur bone. However, after being shown what to look for, I found them easily enough.

There are plenty of books out there that help amateurs with paleontology and identifying various fossils. I would suggest you get some of those. Taking a historical geology class is also a step in the right direction. Also, don't worry if you do not live in an area where you can find dinosaur bones. There are usually a lot of interesting fossils or rock/mineral types that can be found just about anywhere. When I was down in Galveston, TX, I was excited when me and some friends found mastadon teeth on a small island. To quote Calvin and Hobbes, "There is treasure everywhere".

Answer 3

Go to the museum of Natural History, walk to the dinosaur bone display, look in an upwards direction and shout i've found it!

Or you could go on an archeological dig.

I reccomend option 1.

Answer 5

go to arizona, utah, or some other place in the west where sedimentary rock layers are visible at or near the surface...look for jsurasic or traisic rock formations...then play in the gullies and stream beds of these areas...you will find some bone..especially in the morrison formation in eastern utah

Answer 6

it fairly is humorous how human beings can settle for issues that scientists say so easily yet no longer issues that the bible say. I mean, how do scientists understand that the bones are 148 million years outdated & no longer 147 million years outdated? yet it fairly is somewhat elementary for u 2 settle for the scientists' observe particularly than God' observe. by using how, the place in the worldwide did u get that the earth is purely 6000 years outdated?

Answer 7
