If I were to ask "What is a Paleontologist?" Your answer would probably be "A paleontologist is somebody who digs up dinosaur ones and studies them.
Well actualy, a Paleontologist is somebody who goes around the world looking for bones and fossils try and figure out what life was like millions of years ago. Paleontologists sometimes work at museums. That's why you would find most bones and fossils at a museum.
Paleontologist travel all around ten world looking for bones and if they find any bones, they dig them up. Paleontologists use different types of tools to dig up the bones.
They use pic axes, and hammers when there's a huge layer of stone in on top of them. When there close to the bones, they use chisels. When there really close to the bone, they use brushes. Once they have dug up the bone, they load it on the their car (Truck) and take it to the museums where they will wash it and maybe polish it. The bones are too delicate to put together so, they sometimes they make a copy of the bone and then they set it them up.
