In many ways the same as our own. Plant life was very abundant, especially conifers. Fungus life was probably the same as it is now. Insect life was also very abundent, as was bacterial life.
Mammalian and amphibian life would be affected by reptiles such as the brachiosaurus and the stegosaurus. Amphibian, fish and other sea life would be affected by pliosaurs and marine crocodiles-though the deep water was probably similar to the way it is now.
Bird life had yet to evolve.

The dinosaurs were the dominant land animals during the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods, rising to dominance during the late Triassic.
What is the dominant vertebrates throughout the Cretaceous period?
The common consensus is that dinosaurs dominated the land, being the most diverse large animals, and reaching huge sizes. In the oceans, large marine creatures included plesiosaurs, pliosaurs, ichthyosaurs (during the Jurassic and early Cretaceous), and mosasaurs (during the Cretaceous). The skies were ruled by pterosaurs. Coniferous trees were the primary large plants.
In which period were the dinosaurs dominant aka age of the dinosaurs?
They were dominant during the mesozoic era, which was made up of the Triassic, Jurassic, and Cretaceous periods.

What period was the Jurassic period in?
you mean what era was the Jurassic period in it was in the mesezoic era inbeetween the triassic and the cretaceous periods mesezoic means middle life oh by the way anydinosaur from Jurassic park is not in the Jurassic don't believe they are there all from the cretaceous
What period were dinosaurs from?
None-avian dinosaurs first appeared in the Triassic period and were the dominant land vertebrates through the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods. At the end of the Cretaceous period, 65.5 million years ago, all non-avian dinosaurs went extinct. Birds, which are now classified as dinosaurs, continue to live to his day.
