All living things on Earth contain carbon in that most of the molecules in us include carbon atoms. Dinosaurs were living creatures and are like all living creatures today in this respect.

Are dinosaur fossils original remains?

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.


Carbonate minerals contain?

Some minerals contain carbon, such as graphite and diamonds, however while they both contain carbon, the diamonds density is far greater.


Do you have dinosaur carbon in us?

First and most. There is not much dinosaur anything to be found. Carbon that we are getting our fuel oils from is mainly made from very old plants that are now sitting about 7 miles down. Mostly it is made into fuel and plastic. There may be things made from dinosaur carbon (as rare and perhaps undefinable as having come from a dinosaur or plant) that we some how would get in our bodies and stay there but I don't know what that is. All life is recycled. Maybe what was in a dinosaur is in humans. It may not be knowable.

What are some nonliving and living things that contain carbon?

Limestone is composed of calcium carbonate, CaCO3 (the 3 is a sub-script) so it's a calcium atom, a carbon atom, and 3 oxygen atoms. There are some other minerals that contain carbon as well. Diamond, which is pure carbon, is an example.


With a few exceptions compounds that contain the element hydrogen are organic compounds?

its not hydrogen that makes a compound organic but carbon. With a few exceptions, compounds that contain the element carbon are organic compounds. Some common exceptions are, CO2, CO, all carbonates as well as all the allotropes of carbon.


Could you eat a dinosaur?

If you could eat a dinosaur, which is impossible as they are now extinct, you would be able to eat some of them if they were cooked as 90% of dinosaurs were no bigger than a chicken. Some of the big ones however...
