dinosaur bone
Ancient reptile remnant
A dinosaur bone is a fossilized skeletal remain from a dinosaur, preserved in rock over millions of years.
Paleontologists study dinosaur bones to understand prehistoric life.
The term also applies to replicas in museums: The kids loved seeing the dinosaur bones at the natural history museum.
In some contexts, calling something a dinosaur bone suggests extreme age or obsolescence.
