A number of dinosaurs, such as Amphicoelias are known from only one fossil specimen. Many other dinosaurs were never preserved as fossils and so will never be known to mankind.

Which part of a dinosAur is least likely to be found as fossil?

Soft tissue such as muscles, organs, and skin are least likely to be found as fossils because they decay rapidly after death and are not easily preserved in the fossil record.


How old are dinosaur fossils?

Usually a fossil needs to be at least 10,000 years old. However, there is more than just age to a fossil. Fossils are often made of sediment and rock that has taken the shape of the object. Therefore, it is just just old, it is also mineralized.


What type of fossil would be least likey found in antarctica?

Fossils of tropical plants and animals would be least likely found in Antarctica, as the continent's climate and environment are not conducive to supporting such organisms.


Have there been any fossils found in Quebec near the St Laurence river?

I've found some before at Parc-du-Haut-Fond. You turn a rock over and chances are that it has a fossil on it! (65%-70%) It's better to look when the tide is low because they are found mostly in the parts that get covered by the water when it's high tide. I have at least 10 with REALLY NICE fossils on them. I even found a rock with gems in it, but I lost it... :( Anyway, I hope you can find some! Good luck! :)


Which of these is LEAST likely to be learned by studying animal fossils?

Animal behavior would be the least likely to be learned by studying animal fossils, as behavior is not typically preserved in the fossil record. Fossils generally provide information about the anatomy, physiology, and ecological relationships of ancient organisms rather than their specific behaviors.

Why was the skeleton of an iguanodon make history?

For thousands of years, dinosaur bones were attributed to dragons and other myths, and people never tried to truly understand them. In the 1800's, the teeth of Iguanodon were among the first dinosaur fossils to be found and then studied by scientists. Later, a large group of Iguanodon fossils was discovered in Bernissart, Belgium. At least 38 different Iguanodon skeletons were found. These skeletons were among the first nearly complete dinosaur skeletons to ever be found, and they helped to greatly improve the understanding of dinosaurs from giant lizards to very unique reptiles.
