To determine the Relative Age of Rocks geologists use the Principles of Superposition, Cross-Cutting Relationships, and Index fossils. To determine the Absolute Age (exact age) of rock, geologists use Radiometric Dating.

The relative age of a rock is its age compared to the ages of other rocks.

The geologic age of a fossil organism, rock, geologic feature, or event, defined relative to other organisms, rocks, features, or events rather than in terms of years.

No other country allows hunters to keep whatever dinosaur bones and teeth (or other fossils) they find on their own property, or on land where they have permission to collect. Public lands are off limits—it’s illegal to collect most fossils on federal property, such as the national parks.

However, any fossils taken from federally owned rock “may not be bartered or sold” later. But in America, fossils discovered on private property belong to the landowner. So if you, as a resident of the United States, find a dino skeleton on real estate that you own, you can legally keep, sell or export it.

Although the common value exists of a dinosaur egg is about $400 to $1500.

No, we don’t have any dinosaur eggs for sale and are very unlikely to in the future. The longer explanation is this… Basically, all commercially available dinosaur eggs on the market come from either Mongolia or China.

The Fossil Egg is a limited legendary egg in Adopt Me! that could be purchased for 750. It was released on October 10, 2020, replacing the Aussie Egg. It was also replaced by the Ocean Egg on April 16th, 2021.
