dinosaur bones

Museum skeleton exhibits

Dinosaur bones are the fossilized skeletal remains of dinosaurs, preserved in rock over millions of years.

The phrase often appears in contexts of paleontological discovery or museum display: They found dinosaur bones in the quarry.

Children especially associate dinosaur bones with natural history museums, where reconstructed skeletons tower over visitors.
