The Mesozoic (the era of Middle Life) has three subdivisions, periods: Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous. However, only the last two of these should be called the time of the dinosaurs; in the Triassic, dinosaurs were largely matched be the proto-mammals and only gained ascendency in the Jurassic.

The question of how the dinosaurs finally outfaced the mammals is still debated; one hypothesis is that they specialized in different areas, and the dinosaur specialization (of the legs) proved more advantageous than the mammalian specialization (of the teeth).

Yes. The time which included the dinosaurs is known as the "Mesozoic Era," which means "the time of Middle Life," distinguishing it from the "Paleozoic" or Ancient Life and the "Cenozoic" or Recent Life, which is the Era in which we live. The Mesozoic has three Periods, called the Triassic, the Jurassic and the Cretaceous. During the first, the Triassic, dinosaurs were mostly small and were in tight competition with the ancestors of the mammals. By the Jurassic, the dinosaurs had "won" and grown in some cases huge (there are always smaller versions) while the mammals were forced into the margins and remained tiny.
