dinosaur remains
Prehistoric skeletal evidence
Dinosaur remains are the preserved physical traces of dinosaurs—fossils, bones, teeth, eggs, or impressions left in rock.
The phrase appears in natural history contexts: The museum acquired new dinosaur remains from a Montana dig site.
It can also refer to partial or fragmentary specimens: Only scattered dinosaur remains were found at the site.
