The largest extinction of animals commonly called dinosaurs was around 65 million years ago, in a time period known as the Cretaceous-Tertiary extinction event, which lasted somewhere from several to several thousand years (evidence is not determinate on the exact length of the event for several reasons, and above-mean rates of extinction persisted for quite some time). This view is supported by the vast majority of scientific evidence and knowledge.
Some dinosaurs did survive however, to become extinct at much later times, and others had gone extinct much earlier, so one could technically describe all of the last 230 million years as "when [the] dinosaurs became extinct".
There is a substantial number of scientists, however, who would say that, technically speaking, "the dinosaurs" did not become extinct at all, because one group is still with us: the birds. There is considerable evidence that birds are descended from a group of dinosaurs known as Maniraptora (see the related link below), which would indicate that birds are properly included within the dinosaur clade (group of organisms related by descent).
All the dinosaurs went extinct about 65 million years ago after a giant asteroid hit earth.
Non-avian dinosaurs went extinct 65.5 years ago. However, most paleontologists not classify birds as dinosaurs. So, in a sense they never truly died out.
The Jurassic (named for the Jura Mountains) Period gave way to the Cretaceous about 145 million years ago.
About 65 million years ago.
They died out BILLIONS of years ago
At the dawn of dinosaurs.
No, not all at once. Throughout the 150 million year "reign" of the dinosaurs, all kinds of groups of dinosaurs have flourished then died out. Dinosaurs living in the Triassic Period were not the same as dinosaurs living in the Cretaceous period. However, the final blow to the dinosaurs that caused them all to die out was the K-T mass extinction that occurred 65 million years ago.
Most likely the plant eaters died first, then the carnivores.
No. Turtle are from a branch of reptiles completely separate from dinosaurs.
dinosaurs are extinct not endangered
if temperature drops quick enough, plants die. if plants die, the dinosaurs that eat plants die. if those dinosaurs die, then the carnivorous meat-eating dinosaurs die. then, all dinosaurs die.
Dinosaurs Don't Die was created in 1975.
Birds are direct descendants of dinosaurs so they did not die out.
Yes
they saw you
They already did. All the dinosaurs died out 65 million years ago.
At the dawn of dinosaurs.
No
It isn't proven that the dinosaurs died from hunger. See the related question below.
AnswerYes, all the true dinosaurs died out approximately 64 million years ago. The nearest living relatives of dinosaurs are the birds.
