How many dinosaur bones are there in RDR2?
30, spread over every state except the far south: 5 in Ambarino, 12 in New Hanover, 2 in Lemoyne, 3 in West Elizabeth and 8 in New Austin. All 30 are listed above and plotted on the interactive map.
Do I need all 30 dinosaur bones for 100%?
The 100% list asks you to complete A Test of Faith, and the mission only completes once every bone has been found and mailed to Deborah MacGuiness. The checklist here tracks it as one item: A Test of Faith (all Dinosaur Bones).
Can Arthur find them all, or do I need to wait for the epilogue?
The eight in New Austin are reachable only in the epilogue, so Arthur can collect 22 and John finishes the set. If a bone refuses to appear, meet Deborah first: the last one can fail to spawn until the stranger mission is active.
