Best Answer

Dinosaur bones are rare because the outside of the bone is actually dissolved so when the bone was still there, the pores let in sedimentary rock which hardened and the bone dissolved. THe bone you see in museums are actually rocks in the form of the bone. Thats why dinosaur bones are extremely rare.
