Dinosaur Bone — Detailed Guide
An event resource for skins
Dinosaur Bone is an event resource in ARK: Survival Evolved and ARK: Survival Ascended that players spend on skins, costumes and emotes. Its description reads: "A very ancient looking bone, must be usefull for something!"
Where the bones come from
During ARK: ARKaeology and ARK: Fear Evolved 3, the ARK Wiki says, 
Fossil Piles held the bones. In ARK: Fear Evolved 4 and the events after it, the only way to get them is to kill skeletal dinos. Our loot data lists 11 sources that can contain Dinosaur Bone, such as the Skeletal Alpha Raptor, Skeletal Alpha Carno, Bone Quetzal and Bone Jerboa.
What the bones are spent on
Our recipe data counts 32 recipes that use the bone in ASA and 29 in ASE. The cost depends on the item:
- Emotes: 50 for the Evil, Knock, Panic, Scare and Zombie emotes; our ASA list also has Howl, Sniff and Candy Throw at 20.
- Shirts and swimwear: 35 for pieces such as the Reaper-Print Shirt and the Onyc Swim Top.
- Masks, helmets and outfits: 20 for the Hockey Mask, the Headless Costume, the Scary Pumpkin Helmet and the Scary Dino Pumpkin Helmet; 50 for the Skeleton Costume, and our ASE list also has the
Strawman Costume Skin at 50. - Consumable: 5 for
Dino Candy Corn.
ASE names many of these with a Skin suffix, such as 
Hockey Mask Skin, and uses Swim Bottom where ASA says Swim Shorts.
Weight and shelf life
A bone weighs 0.5 and stacks to 200, so a full stack weighs 100. 
Bones spoil after 31 days (744 hours). Our records list the item on 14 maps.
