How do scientists know that dinosaurs and horses did not exist in the same geological eras?
You could call it a trick question, because birds are considered dinosaurs by most scientists, and thus they do live alongside horses. However, the dinosaurs that are not birds left abundant fossils until about 65.5 million years ago, after which we have found no fossils of dinosaurs. Primitive horses, however, left no known fossils until 54 million years ago. There actually is geoligical proof of horses and birds living in the same era.
