Saltopus lived about 225 to 220 million years ago in the Upper Triassic Period. It is one of the oldest dinosaurs.
Other dinosaurs from around this time are
Eoraptor(230 - 225 Ma),
Pisanosaurus(228 - 216 Ma),
Saturnalia(225 - 220Ma),
Herrarasaurus(228Ma) &
Staurikosaurus(225Ma).
Plesiosaurs were not dinosaurs. They were a clade of marine reptiles that lived at the same time as the dinosaurs.
No! Although this is a common mistake, all dinosaurs were land animals. All animals that lived in the sea at the same time as the dinosaurs weren't actually classed as dinosaurs even though they have similarities :)
Dinosaurs could not not fly but pterosaurs lived during the dinosaurs age and they could fly. pterosaurs are not flying dinosaurs they are flying reptiles that lived at the same time as dinosaurs. Some examples of Pterosaurs are: Pterodon Pterodactlus Hopee this helpsss! from Megggannn
Pterodactylus were pterosaurs, and although pterosaurs are often called "flying dinosaurs," they were not dinosaurs. Pterosaurs were flying reptiles that lived at the same time as dinosaurs, but they don't share the same common ancestor as dinosaurs and thus don't fall into the clade Dinosauria.
California was under a shallow sea during the time that dinosaurs lived. Dinosaurs lived on land, so none lived in California.
none dinosaurs are extinct
There were many species of flying reptiles that lived during the Mesozoic Era. Some examples of them are Pteranodon, Pterodactyl, and Quetzalcoatlus.
Yes, all animals we have now lived then, just some that lived then have gone extinct so we don't have them now.
Dinosaurs lived from the Triassic to the Jurassic to the Cretaceous, which means that they lived in an entire era called the Mesozoic. Dinosaurs lived 230-65 million years ago. In the Mesozoic era.
There are no names of underwater dinosaurs because there were no underwater dinosaurs. Sea reptiles that lived at the same time as the dinosaurs were around. Names of these sea-living reptiles include: Liopleurodon, Opthalmosaurus and Tylosaurus.
The Saltopus, a small dinosaur from the Late Triassic period, faced predation from larger carnivorous dinosaurs of its time, such as Coelophysis. Additionally, it would have contended with other prehistoric predators, including larger reptiles and possibly early mammal-like creatures. Its small size likely made it vulnerable to various threats in its environment.
Mammals and dinosaurs started about the same time and mammals are still here, so ... Mammals! (Unless you count birds as dinosaurs, in which case it's a tie). One of the mysteries of evolution is why the dinosaurs came to dominate the mammals in the first place.
