The dinosaurs died probably 65 million years ago. There are many different suggestions as to why they died out. Most scientists think that a massive change in the atmospheric system including a cloud of dust probably created by a volcanic eruption, and that was probably created by a 5 mile long asteroid that headed for earth 65 million years ago! and i mean this is the best answer you could get.

Those were just theories, but now scientists have discovered a huge crater that is expected to have been formed 65 million years ago. The shock wave it created is believed to have been powerful enough to wipe out most life in it's radius. Considering that the land on earth was very close together at the time, it is easily understandable why there are so many fish that seemed to have survived that blast.
