Dinosaur skeletons say a lot about dinosaurs. Nearly all knowledge of dinosaurs comes from their skeletons.
Skeletons tell us:
-How large the dinosaur was
-The shape of the teeth tells what the dinosaur most likely ate (sharp teeth are typically used for tearing flesh, and molars are typically used for grinding plant material.)
-Horns and frills suggest how the dinosaur might have defended itself or attacked other dinosaurs
-Nasal cavities show where the nose would have been on the dinosaur, and if it had one
-Auditory cavities show the location of the ear
Skeletons sometimes require some interpretation, and Paleontology is constantly increasing its understanding of dinosaurs.
Sometimes paleontologists misinterpret bones. For example, the sharp spike on the front leg of the Iguanodon was initially believed to be a horn. When more skeletons were found, scientists realized their mistake.
Sometimes new technology or fresh observations or new specimen also give new information. It was only recently that velociraptors were discovered to have feathers. Paleontologists found little grooves in the bones of the forearm that were alike enough to grooves on the bones of currently living organisms with feathers.

What dinosaur learns mayfly in dinosaur king?
i don't know for sure but most wind dinosaurs learn mayfly at level 55
How do scientists discover information about dinosaurs?
Scientists learn about dinosaurs by studying their fossils and those of other contemporary organisms. This helps them to learn what a dinosaur looked like, what it ate, and what its adaptations were. They also learn about what the climate, plant life, and other animals it interacted with were like. Fossils such as those of eggs, nests, and footprints can leave clues as to a dinosaur's social behavior.
What can a paleontoloist tell from fossil footprints of a dinosaur?
Scientists can learn many things. They can learn how large a dinosaur was, what it looked like, what it ate, and how it moved, to name a few things.
What are ideas for a dinosaur project?
You may want to look up lots of dinosaurs and pick one you like and try to learn as much from the reasearch.
What can you learn about a dinosaur with a fossil?
With a dinosaur fossil, you can learn about the size, shape, and structure of the dinosaur, including its skeletal features, diet, and potential behavior. By studying the fossil, scientists can also infer information about the dinosaur's environment and the time period in which it lived.
What are some innovative dinosaur science experiments that researchers are conducting to further our understanding of prehistoric creatures?
Researchers are conducting experiments using advanced technology like CT scans and 3D modeling to study dinosaur bones and fossils in new ways. They are also analyzing ancient DNA and proteins to learn more about dinosaur biology and behavior. Additionally, some scientists are studying the movement and biomechanics of dinosaurs by creating robotic models based on their skeletons. These experiments are helping to expand our knowledge of prehistoric creatures and how they lived.
Are there dinosaurs living in any dinosaur Park?
The question of if there are any surviving dinosaurs is being debated in science today. The birds are now considered avian dinosaurs by most scientist because they evolved directly from dinosaurs and many of their characteristics are very close to some therapod dinosaurs characteristics. Recent findings even suggest that some dinosaurs were also covered in feathers further blurring the distinction between birds and their dinosaur ancestors.
How do you learn about dinosaurs?
You can read dinosaur books, watch dinosaurs on T-V, you can go to museums, you can do A LOT OF THINGS! You can see if there are any paleontologists at the mueseum(I wouldn't recommend this because they might not be there and they get very tired) or you can ask any dinosaur genius, like me, but not just me. I'm a paleontologist in training(technically not in training, but I'm too young for a job), and i get tired, too. Here's a website for you:pubs.usgs.gov/gip/dinosaurs
Can any one learn how to talk dinosaur?
I can speak dinosaur!
How do dinosaurs learn to be sensible?
They do not learn anything, they are extinct.
What is a job called when you dig up dinosowr bones?
A job where you dig up dinosaur bones is called paleontology. Paleontologists study fossils to learn about ancient life on Earth, including dinosaurs.
What those people that finds dinosaur bones?
People who find dinosaur bones are typically paleontologists. They study fossils and excavate sites to learn about prehistoric life, including dinosaurs. Their work helps us understand the Earth's history and the evolution of life on our planet.
