The dinosaurs, those giant lizard creatures, dominated the face of Earth for about 165 million years. This period of time is called Mesozoic Era, and during this time the planet suffered several violent changes.
It is difficult to comprehend the vast stretch of time that dinosaurs lived on Earth.They lasted well over a hundred and fifty million years.Tyrannosarus rex was among the last of the dinosaurs;it died out sixty-five million years ago.Human beings have been around for only two or three million years.It will be a long time before we equal the duration of the dinosaurs' stay on Earth.
According to the International Commission on Stratgraphy, the Jurassic period lasted from 199.6 million to 145.5 million years ago. It is the middle period of the Mesozoic ("middle life") Era. This is the period when the dinosaurs were predominantly present on the face of earth, various species of the same were present everywhere. But an unexplainable event turn things around.
The Cenozoic Era (65 million years ago to now) is known as the age of the mammals because this is the period where mammals came to dominate most environments on Earth. Although true mammals evolved in the late Triassic Period about 200 million years ago but where generally thought to be small and most certainly overshadowed by Reptiles such as Dinosaurs. When the Dinosaurs and most other large reptiles died out 65 million years ago, mammals started to become more dominant filling the ecological niches that where filled by large reptiles. Likewise Angiosperms (flowering plants) also shared similar fortunes. Many environments. There was a marked shift from Gymnosperms such as ferns and cycads to flowering plants.
well it was getting to be near the afternoon of the 8th day of creation and god was getting quite fed up with the velociraptors making off with adam every other hour so finally thy great lord above proclaimed "let there be lava" and fiery molten hell geysered from the earth and eliminated most of the dinos. One rather well educated dinosaur had hid out in the indian subcontinent where most dinos had left because Eurasia was all the rage in those days. God was quite proud of this dinosaur and his encyclopedic grasp on the english language, but god still wanted all the dinos to amscray so he hurled this final dinosaur into the sun, but not before using some of his tail hide as the leather outer covering of the first written book.It as named The Saurus in honor of the last of a majestic species.
From about 5 million years ago to about 5000 years ago.
dinosaurs lived for about 250 million years ago.
160 million years
the dinosaurs lived from 250 million years ago to 65 million years ago.
Leptictidium lived between 50 and 35 million years ago. They did not evolve until 15 million years after dinosaurs died out.
Dinosaurs - about 150 million years. Humans - about 1 million years.
Dinosaurs have lived on all continents. They lived between 252 million years age and 65.5 million years ago.
Non avian dinosaurs appeared during the Carnian stage of the Triassic period about 220 million years ago. They diversified in the Jurassic and even more in the Cretaceous, but they died out 65.5 million years ago. All non avian dinosaurs lived during the Mesozoic era, but birds, which are a group of dinosaurs, continue to exist today.
They lived for 160 million years
I think they lived (the dinosaurs) for approximately 165 million years.
Dinosaurs lived 65 million years ago.
About 160 million years
The type of animal that lived only during the Mesozoic Era (Age of Reptiles) were the dinosaurs. They evolved during the late Triassic and the Jurassic periods, and were the largest land creatures during the Cretaceous period of the era.
