Natural Dinosaur Bone

Natural Dinosaur Bone The dinosaurs were one of Earth’s most successful creatures. Their reign lasted approximately 120 million years in the period known as the Mesozoic Era (The Age of Reptiles). They are thought to have first appeared in the late Triassic, about 200 million years ago, and evolved and diversified thru the Jurassic Period (180-135 million years ago). By the end of the Cretaceous About 70 million years ago) they were extinct.

What we today call dinosaur bone is more correctly and descriptively known as silicified fossil of dinosaur bone. Fossils are the remains of prehistoric animals or plants. Silicified means the fossil is quartz (a form of silica). A more common name for this form of quartz is agate.

Usually fossils are some hard skeletal part on an organism, slow to decay, that has been quickly buried in sediment, preserving them more or less intact until petrification begins. Bones, teeth, shells and wood are often preserved in this manner.
