Like most fossils, dinosaur fossils have been mostly replaced with minerals and are not made of the original material. However, many contain trace amounts of original material. Some even contain proteins from the dinosaur.
Yes, it is false that dinosaur footprints are original remains.
there were dinosaur fossils and bones found.
Cause they well be I stink
Mineralization occurs in the original remains, inside the shells bones and teeth, of animals and fish. This process turns remains into fossils.
a dinosaur footprint is a trace fossil
Dinosaur tracks are trace fossils
Carbon-14 dating cannot be used on dinosaur remains because carbon-14 has a short half-life and decays too quickly for fossils that are millions of years old. Instead, alternative methods like uranium-lead dating, argon-argon dating, and paleomagnetism are used to determine the age of dinosaur fossils. These methods rely on the decay of radioactive isotopes or the alignment of magnetic minerals in the rocks surrounding the fossils.
Dinosaur footprints are the original soil or sand that the footprint was made in, which has been buried and then turned into rock by great pressure. In a nutshell, yes.
In the year 1824 William Buckland (a geologist) announced his discovery of fossil remains on a new animal.
The study of dinosaur's fossils is called:Paleontologists/Paleontology
Fossils of animals or plants are commonly preserved in sedimentary rocks. These fossils form when the remains of organisms are buried in sediment, which gradually hardens into rock, preserving the shape and structure of the original organism. Examples include dinosaur bones in sandstone or fern leaves in shale.
The Gobi Desert is known for its dinosaur fossils.
