For my final answer-just can't work it out, unless it's ONERS..
4d) Book with such jokes would make mistakes. (5)
If it IS ONERS, could somebody explain please?

I've been doing (or trying to do) this one and took it as Boner being a blunder or error, minus b for book. Not sure why oner should be a joke though!

The clue is "extract a rib from decomposing brachiosaur, that's extinct.

30 Across is an anagram - of a long word in the clue, with a part removed ('extracted' in the clue). Hope this helps.

30ac is an anagram of brachiosaur less "a rib"
