Red Dead Redemption 2 Dinosaur Bones quest

To officially start collecting Dinosaur Bones in Red Dead Redemption 2, you will need to trigger the A Test of Faith mission. To do this, you first need to speak to the Paleontologist excavating fossils southeast of Horseshoe Overlook. You can find bones before this encounter, of course.

A Test of Faith is one of the quests you need to finish if you're trying to get 100% completion in Red Dead Redemption 2.

YouTuber Arrekz Gaming has put together a video detailing where to find all 30 Dinosaur Bones in Red Dead Redemption 2 which you can watch below.
