Though in science you should never say something is not possible, I doubt it. Metamorphic rocks have been pressurized so much that they become a lot smaller than the original sedimentary or igneous rock they came from thus, destroying any evidence of a bone or anything else of that matter.

What is Preserved dinosaur bone called?
it is called "Fossils"
Would you expect to find dinosaur bone in a metamorphic rock like schist explain?
no, because the extreme heat that metamorphic rocks must undergo to form would have burned the dinosaur fossil, or any fossil!
Would you expect to find a well preserved dinosaur bone in a metamorphic rock like schist.?
No. When a rock is metamorphosed it normally removes all traces of fossils. Schist in particular has been under great pressure, enough to change the minerals in the original rock.
Would you expect to find a well preserve dinosaur bone in a metamorphic rock like schist?
NO, a metamorphic rock is a new rock formed when existing rockes are spueezed or heated. If you were to find a dinosaur bone in a rock it would be a sedimentary rock, which is a rock formed by layers of sediment, Which means a dinousar bone could of been on top of a layer of sediment and another layer of sediment went on top of that, formed a rock that had a dinosaur bone in it.
Would you expect to find a well preserved dinosaur bone in a metomorphic rock like schist?
because igneous' constant heat would melt it and water used to make sedimentary would break it with pressure or erode it
How long would adult dinosaur's hind leg bone have been?
It would depend on the species and age of the dinosaur.
How do you find the price for a dinosaur bone?
Dinosaur bones are often sold illegally on the black market, so if you are to purchase one be sure that you know it is legal in your area and that it comes from a legal source. Also, be sure you know how to care for the fossil properly, as conditions such as humidity destroy fossils. The only way to find a price for a dinosaur bone is to find one for sale, and the price will depend on what bone it is, what animal it comes from, and how well preserved it is, as well as who is selling it.
Can you get money for dinosaur bones?
Yes you can get alot ofmoney for dinosaur bones. How much money you could get depends on the size of the bone, how old the bone is, or what type of dinosaur the bone belongs to.
What is the value of a dinosaur bone?
The value of a dinosaur bone can vary greatly depending on factors such as the type of dinosaur, size, rarity, and condition of the bone. Rare or well-preserved dinosaur bones can be worth thousands to millions of dollars in the collectors' market. Scientific institutions may also place high value on certain specimens for research and display purposes.
What kinds of fossils are not preserved?
Things that usually were not made of bone were not preserved. Although there are some like leaves and feathers that were. Also some that were found in amber are those that would not be preserved otherwise.
What country are dinosaur fossils most commonly found?
The largest, well known dinosaur is Argentinosaurus, which hails from Argentina. A poorly preserved femur from a dinosaur called Amphicoelias was discovered about a hundred years ago, which has since been lost to science. From descriptions of it, the bone could have come from an even larger dinosaur. Amphicoelias comes from North America.
Why are dinosaur bones rare?
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.
