In the water: many of the same types of animals we see today in the waters (though not the same species): fish, shellfish, corals, etc. On land: archosaurs (reptile ancestors of dinosaurs), synapsid reptiles (reptile ancestors of mammals), lizards, crocodiles, and eventually dinosaurs, pterosaurs and mammals.
Plant life included cycads, ferns, ginkos and conifers. (There were no deciduous trees, grass, or flowering plants.)

What era did the first dinosaur appear in?
The first dinosaurs lived in the beginning of the Mesozoic Era (or the Age of Reptiles). Birds were amazingly discovered to be dinosaurs so dinosaurs were also alive in the Cenozoic (that's our time-the Age of Mammals) to today.
What does theword dinousar mean?
Terrible lizard - from Greek deinos = terrible and sauros = lizard.
Were all dinosaurs reptiles?
No way! There were thousands of species of reptiles that lived both during, before, and after the dinosaurs lived on earth. There were the synapsid reptiles, as well as the anapsid reptiles, which were mostly gone when the dinosaurs arrived. There were also many diapsid reptiles that lived during the time the dinosaurs did. Such species include deinosuchus, dimetrodon, gorgonops, Quetzalcoatlus, and rutiodon. Dinosaurs were not reptiles themelves. They evolved from reptiles, many had warm blood even feathers,
Toothed birds lived in which Period of geologic time?
Toothed birds lived in the Mesozoic Era during the Cretaceous Period, specifically in the Late Cretaceous. They were among some of the earliest birds that evolved before losing their teeth as part of their adaptation for flight.
Is the pliosaurus a theropod or a sauropod?
The Pliosaurus is neither a theropod nor a sauropod. It is actually an extinct marine reptile known as a plesiosaur. Plesiosaurs are separate from dinosaurs and belonged to a different group of reptiles that lived in the oceans during the Mesozoic Era.
What lived in the mesozoic era?
Dinosaurs, birds, early mammals, and flowering plants lived during the Mesozoic Era, which spanned from about 252 million years ago to 66 million years ago. This era is often referred to as the "Age of Reptiles" due to the dominance of dinosaurs during this time.
Which flying reptile lived the same time as the dinosaurs?
There were many species of flying reptiles that lived during the Mesozoic Era. Some examples of them are Pteranodon, Pterodactyl, and Quetzalcoatlus.
What era was dominated by reptiles?
Funny you asked. The reptiles dominated from the permian to cretaceous period. The answer is the mesozoic era. There are three geological eras: paleozoic, mesozoic and the Cenozoic. We are currently in the Holocene epoch of the quaternary period of the Cenozoic era.
What type of animal lived only during mesozoic era?
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.
What Era did dinosaurs live in?
The dinosaurs lived in the Mesozoic Era, which includes the Triassic, Jurassic, and Cretaceous periods. The first dinosaurs appeared in the late Triassic and went extinct at the end of the Cretaceous.
In which era did the dinosaurs lived?
Dinosaurs lived during the Mesozoic Era.
Were frogs around during the time of the dinosaurs?
Frog fossils have been found dating to the Jurassic period. The Jurassic period was the middle period in the middle of the Mesozoic. The Mesozoic was the era in which all dinosaurs lived, so frogs and dinosaurs did coexist.
How many dinosaurs were living during the mesozoic era?
100 types of dinosaurs lived during the mesozoic era.
Dinosaurs lived 230 million years ago during what era?
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.
What lived during the Mesozoic era?
It's easy: the first dinosaurs and the first bugs were alive during the Mesozoic ere.
What group was most successful during the Mesozoic era?
It is hard to say what animal group was the most successful during the Mesozoic. However, reptiles were the so called "dominant" animals. Dinosaurs lived on land, pterosaurs flew through the air, and plesiosaurs, icthyosaurs, and mosasaurs were some of the largest creatures in the oceans.
