Best Answer

The tyrannosaurus (and its related carnivorous and herbivore dinosaurs) lived in the late Cretaceous period, more specifically from about 68 to 66 million years ago. The Cretaceous followed the Jurassic period, both part of the Mesozoic era, during which dinosaurs became the dominant lifeforms (Age of Reptiles).
