How many days ago did the dinosaurs live?

Dinosaurs existed 65.5 million years ago. Back then, a day was about 23 hours. Saying that an average day between modern times and the dinosaur age was 23.5 hours, and a year is 365.25 x 24 hours, then the dinosaurs died out about 24,431,500,000 days ago.


How much would a 3 mil yr old knuckle bone from a dinosaur be worth?

Dinosaurs died out 65.5 million years ago, so finding a 3 million year old dinosaur bone is impossible. However, if someone did (and it wasn't just a bird bone), it would be worth a lot, because it would prove that not all dinosaurs died out when we thought.


Where was dinosaurs?

When the dinosaurs lived, all the land in the world was in one big continent called Pangea. After the dinosaurs died, this land mass broke up to form the continents, so dinosaur fossils can be found in many places around the world. Answer2: Before 1824, dinosaurs were unknown to man. In that year the bones of several kinds of fossilized reptiles were unearthed in England. British paleontologist Richard Owen called these animals Dinosauria, from the two Greek words deinos and sauros, meaning "terrible lizard." The name remains in common use to this day, although while dinosaurs are reptiles, they are not lizards. Since 1824, dinosaur fossils have been found on every continent. The fossil record, left in layers of sedimentary, or water-laid, rock, indicates that there was an extraordinary abundance and variety of dinosaur types at a time in earth's history called the Age of Dinosaurs. Some made their home on land, while others lived in swamps. Some perhaps even lived in water, much like the present-day hippopotamus. Large quantities of dinosaur remains-including such nonskeletal evidence as tracks-have been unearthed in the Great Central Plain of North America. The prairies of central Alberta have yielded many dinosaur remains, including nearly 500 complete skeletons. In the 1920's, expeditions discovered dinosaur bones in the Gobi Desert of central Asia. In the 1940's a Soviet expedition in Mongolia discovered a dinosaur skeleton some 40 feet [12 m] in length. In 1986 Argentine scientists discovered the fossils of a plant-eating dinosaur in Antarctica. Until then, Antarctica had been the only major land area where dinosaur fossils had not been found. Just before that, an American researcher found dinosaur bones on the North Slope of Alaska. Throughout the last hundred years, deposits of dinosaur bones have been uncovered in so many places that it has become apparent that dinosaurs were widespread in the remote past.


Is a hippopotamus a descendant of the dinosaur time?

As a mammal hippopotamus is not descended from dinosaurs but it did have ancestors in the dinosaur time. All organisms on earth have ancestors dating to the time of the dinosaurs and from before then. Otherwise they could not exist today. According to current theory: 65 million years ago, when the dinosaurs ended, hippopotamuses and whales were the same animal. About 55 million years ago the animal that would become hippos split from the animal that would become whales. We have found fossils of a 48 million year old whale ancestor that we call Indohyus. Artistic reconstructions of this animal are currently the closest idea we have for what hippos looked like in the time of dinosaurs.


What year did the dinosaur's get killed by the asteroid that hit the earth?

The dinosaurs were killed by an asteroid impact around 66 million years ago at the end of the Cretaceous period. This event triggered mass extinctions and led to the decline of dinosaurs and the rise of mammals as the dominant terrestrial animals.


Which of the dinosaurs are the most dangerous?

It's hard to say, as dinosaurs are no longer with us. However, one dinosaur (Sinornithosaurus) has been suspected to have been venomous, and as a modern day dangerous animal (Asian cobra) kills around 4,000 people each year, this could have been a very dangerous animal.


When is the dinosaur breeding season?

It will be like 'after one year' and if the mother dinosaur gets a baby dinosaur it will keep it and if the baby does not grow the mother dinosaur will not keep it and some other dinosaur will kill it and eat.WELL this the answer


Why are dinosaurs a powerful tool in the move to discredit evolution?

Dinosaurs are actually a great way of PROVING evolution. The fossil record has shown many evolutionary pathways dinosaurs ventured down during their 165 million year reign. Fossil evidence has shown many species of theropods, or meat eating dinosaurs, had feathers and increasingly bird-like characteristics. New discoveries in China have furthered the link between dinosaur and bird, helping to prove that evolution isn't merely a theory, but is indeed a irrefutable FACT.


Where were dinosaurs located millions of years ago?

Towards the middle of the Cretaceous Period, dinosaurs had occupied every single continent, including the Antarctic and the poles. Finding an animal as large as a dinosaur at the south pole wouldn't be that big of a surprise, considering that the Earth was much warmer back then and that ice only came at the poles only for a few months every year. If the dinosaurs could migrate or hibernate, they could have lived anywhere on the globe.


How long was it when they were dinosaurs?

In comparison to the age of the Earth, the dinosaurs were relative latecomers. A widely-used example is that if the whole existence of the planet were reduced to a single year, starting (as years do) on January 1, the dinosaurs appeared on Christmas (December 25). On the same scale, people came on the scene a few seconds before midnight, January 31. In human terms, the dinosaurs were long, long ago, from around 225 to 64 million years before present. When the last dinosaur died, our super-great-grandparents were something like mice.


What dinosaur toys are suitable for a two year old?
