About this episode
Dinosaur bones aren't found everywhere because fossilization is a rare process that requires specific conditions. Most bones decay before they can fossilize, and only a tiny fraction are preserved in sedimentary rock. Erosion, natural disasters, and human activity can also destroy fossils before they're discovered. Plus, many fossils are buried deep underground, making them hard to find. Check out our latest video to learn more about the fascinating process of fossil formation and why these ancient treasures are so rare!
