In this Red Dead Redemption 2 Dinosaur Bones Guide, we will guide you on the locations of all dinosaur bones in Red Dead Redemption 2. These dinosaur bones are scattered all over the map and you will be required to find them, mark their locations and send them to the quest giver, Deborah McGuinness. Without sending the locations to her, you will not be able to complete the side mission or make it count towards your 100% completion.
Our Red Dead Redemption 2 Shack Locations Guide details the locations of all the Dinosaur Bones so that you can easily find them. We have to share detailed images of their locations. Also note that some of these Dinosaur Bones are located in New Austin which is the classic Red Dead Redemption area. You cannot easily roam free here unless the main story is completed so you will need to complete the main story before heading there.
