By guess and by golly for the most part. Actually, with experience, dinosaur experts have gotten a lot better about guessing which part goes where, but there were some funny learning mistakes. For example, where the first Iguanodon was found, one of its two thumb-spikes was with it, but since they only found one, the scientists reconstructing the animal put the spike on its nose! The famous feud between Marsh and Cope (the two great early dinosaur hunters) began which Marsh pointed out to Cope that he'd assembled his great discovery, the Diplodocus, with the skull on the end of the tail! Marsh wasn't always right himself, though: he once put an Apatosaurus body and a Camarosaurus head together.
The dinosaur fossil found on Vega Island in 1986 was a partial skeleton of a carnivorous dinosaur known as Cryolophosaurus ellioti. This dinosaur lived during the Early Jurassic period, around 190 million years ago. It is a significant discovery as it is one of the earliest known dinosaurs from Antarctica.
Joseph Tyrrell found his first major fossil discovery, a partial skull of a dinosaur, in 1884 in Alberta, Canada. This discovery led to the excavation of the nearly complete dinosaur skeleton, now known as "Albertosaurus".
The main kind of dinosaur fossils are dinosaur bones buried in the earth. Paleontologists dig them up and assemble them. Other kinds of fossils are footprints that were laid down in mud that hardened, eggs that were covered with mud that hardened, and the outlines of skin or feathers. Scientists are trying to recover dinosaur DNA.Dinosaur fossils are any piece of evidence that was preserved in some form, and was left by dinosaurs. These include remains, such as bones and eggshells, as well as footprints. Even dinosaur dung is considered a fossil!A dinosaur fossil is a part of the animal that lived millions of years ago, or the shape of one of the parts of the dinosaur that is now preserved in a rock.
Yes it is.
It is known as the skeleton.
No, because dinosaur bones called fossils are the skeleton of a dinosaur. The skeleton is there because all dinosaurs are extinct.
The skeleton of the dinosaur was found by a three year old girl.

You would call it a dead dinosaur. You could refer to a fresh body as a dinosaur carcass. One that is only bones would be a dinosaur skeleton. However, you probably would never see the above. A fossilized dinosaur is called a dinosaur fossil.
The largest complete skeleton ever found so far was the huge tyrannosaurus rex named Sue. She had about 200 bones! - dino-b, the dinosaur loving expert

There has only been one Saltopus skeleton every found.... and it was only part of a skeleton. it is questionable... believe whatever you think it is.
No.
The heaviest dinosaur is Brachiosaurus at 80 tonnes. it was the equivalent to 17 African elephants. it was 16m tall and 26m long and is the largest dinosaur skeleton to be mounted in museum.
There are many ways to tell what a dinosaur ate. One way is looking at it's teeth. Blunt spoon-shaped cheek teeth indicate the dinosaur ate plants. Sharp pointed teeth show that dinosaur ate meat. Another way is looking at the skeletons. Sometimes you will find the skeleton of the prey inside the skeleton of the predator. And yet another way is looking at it's droppings.
