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.


How do people make not real but fake fossils with soil or sand help?

for my daughters science project here is what we did. 1/2 cup salt 1 cup flour 1/2 cup cold brewed coffee 1 cup used coffee grinds mix together add more flour if necessary until it is like really really thick pizza dough. flatten in a pan sprayed with cooking spray. find shells, bugs, leaves, fish bones or other things to make impressions with. spray the items before pressing them into the "dough". let dry for about 12 hours then remove the items so that the dough under them dries completely. it takes about three days for a whole tray to dry out. it looks like real fossilized dirt!!! the salt re-crystalizes giving it a cool effect. and the impressions are really clear. and they smell good too! I don't see why you couldn't use a similar recipe using dirt instead of coffee grinds and water instead of liquid coffee. try it, you might be surprised.

Many people are fascinated with dinosaurs. If one wanted to learn more about dinosaur fossils the first place to look for information would be the internet. Many articles written by experts with years of experience (paleontologists) can be found by a simple search on the internet. Another excellent place to find information is your local library. Even more fun is to visit a natural history museum where you can see many dinosaur fossils in person.


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.
