In Singapore, only a handful of stores here sells fossils, including a small section in the Books Kinokuniya outlet in Ngee Ann City. More common are mineral and antique shops which sell a tiny selection of fossils at high prices.

Other than birds, however, there is no scientific evidence that any dinosaurs, such as Tyrannosaurus, Velociraptor, Apatosaurus, Stegosaurus, or Triceratops, are still alive. These, and all other non-avian dinosaurs became extinct at least 65 million years ago at the end of the Cretaceous Period.
about 65 million years ago
Catalog no. Cheyenne River Indian Reservation, South Dakota, U.S. Sue is the nickname given to FMNH PR 2081, which is one of the largest, most extensive, and best preserved Tyrannosaurus rex specimens ever found, at over 90 percent recovered by bulk.
Short answer: In theory, yes. Light that left the earth 65 million years ago is now 65 million light years away, and an alien with a big enough telescope pointed directly at the earth might be able to see dinosaurs.
While dinosaur bones can survive for millions of years, dinosaur DNA almost certainly does not. But some scientists continue to search for it - just in case. So it looks like cloning a dinosaur is off the table, but an alternate way to recreate the extinct animals would be to reverse-engineer one.
Six years later, Brown discovered a nearly complete T. rex skeleton at Big Dry Creek, Montana. The rock around it was blasted away with dynamite to reveal a “magnificent specimen” with a “perfect” skull. This skeleton, AMNH 5027, is on view in the Museum's Hall of Saurischian Dinosaurs.
The most common fossils are bones and teeth, but fossils of footprints and skin impressions exist as well. Fossils are excavated from many environments, including ancient riverbeds and lakes, caves, volcanic ash falls, and tar pits.
As originally proposed in 1980 by a team of scientists led by Luis Alvarez and his son Walter, it is now generally thought that the K–Pg extinction was caused by the impact of a massive comet or asteroid 10 to 15 km (6 to 9 mi) wide, 66 million years ago, which devastated the global environment, mainly through a
Take the Mass Rapid Transport (MRT) to the Changi Airport Station (CG2). Upon exiting the station (CG2), Jewel is accessible via link bridges located at level 2 of Terminals 2 and 3. Take a train to the Tanah Merah (EW4) station and cross the platform to transfer to an Airport-bound train.
Jurassic Mile is pretty far from everything, and it's also quite far to get to, so to justify a visit, we recommend you combine it with Jewel at the world's best airport. Take the MRT or your car to Terminal 2 and walk the roughly 8km from T2 to Jurassic Mile and back to then enjoy Jewel's many offerings.
The easiest way to get to Changi Airport Terminal 4 by public bus is to take 24, 27, 34, 36, 53 and 858 get you to Terminal 2 after which you can connect to the complimentary T2-T4 shuttle bus. The shuttle bus pick up point is at T2 Arrival Hall Door 1 and will drop you off at T4 at Departure Hall Door 3.
