The fossils displayed in mueseums are usually plaster to prevent the originals from being damaged. The real ones are kept in a lab, most are at the American Mueseum of Natural History. There, they can be studied.

Why are there no fossils of dragons?

No matter where you look, you won't find any fossils of our kind. We never allow that type of evidence to be discovered. Whenever any mortal one of our kind, good or evil, passes away, we use various processes to either relocate the carcass, or eliminate it's existence.~Goldraid~*PS: Please quit deleting my answers already, "Jponbac", they're fact, not fiction!Dragons have never existed. Early man may have mistaken dinosaur bones and footprints for something like a dragon, but they made it up that they existed. If you want to see fossils go to a natural history museum for dinosaur bones. Dragons are in the same realm with unicorns and mermaids.Dragons do exist but you cannot find their fossils.

Where can you see a T-Rex skeleton?

Most natural history museums would have mounted T-rex displays, however, these are usually casts of actual bones as well as casts that are of what the bones are believed to have looked like. However, they also probably have some individual fossil bones in display cases. At the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago, Illinois, they have Sue the T-rex on display. Sue is the largest and most complete fossilized T-rex skeleton ever found (however, there would be a few fake bones even in her display because she is only mostly complete. Also, due to damage to her bones shortly after death, the skull was distorted, and therefor a cast of her skull is used in the display.

Can real dinosaur bones break?

They can break very easily. As a matter of fact, have you ever noticed the small cracks an fractures in a bone for sale/on display (this does not count at the museum because those are actually casts of the real thing, they are fake)? Those are breaks that have been repaired with bone glue or super glue. They are extremely breakable.
