    After killing a triceratops, a T. rex would normally eat the skin and bones

I know that hyenas can digest bones and possibly other animals as well. Given the variety of life that has existed, the ability to digest bones must have been present in other species in the past, which is too bad for archaeologists. It must be frustrating knowing that there is no way of creating a complete catalog of the past.
