Question

What do they use in museums to put the dinosaur's bones back together?

Answer 1

dinosaur bones are best employed for testing and scientific study and are ill suited for building cyclopean sculptures for tourist's amusement so paleontologists at the museum make casts of the bones and reproduce them in fiberglass and metal for those large skeletons usually displayed in the center of dinosaur exhibits. That way the people can see dramatically posed dinosaur remains while the precious evidence in the original fossils can be studied without fear of tampering or accidental damage.

Smaller sections, such as individual bones, skulls, eggs kept in thick glass display cases and the like are often the real deal though.

Answer 2

Most of the dinosaurs we see in museums today are not actually the real thing. The fact is they are too fragile to prop up like that. What we see are usually casks of some kind, in which case using giant screws doesn't seem as crazy.

Single tooths and the like can be displayed but otherwise the genuine articles are kept in slightly safer conditions.

Answer 3

They glue them.

Answer 4

They use giant screws. I'm not tryin to be funny or make a joke. I'm dead serious. They use spacers and screws that are about 1/4inch in diameter (sometimes larger, sometimes smaller) and they s***w the bones back together. For smaller bones, sometimes wire is used.

Answer 5

usually steel rods
