An interesting question that has many answers. But the Genesis account has two possible answers as no man has lived with dinosaurs. In the first two verses of Genesis, it appears the Earth already exists and is in total darkness under water. Why is the obvious question and some have put this piece of the puzzle together with other Scripture like Psalm 104:30 (renewal of the face of the Earth) to indicate some collossal tragedy took place upon the face of the Earth devastating it. Some point to Isaiah 14 and Ezekiel 28 (Luke 10:18, 2 Peter 2:4 etals) as a great 'spritual' battle between Lucifer and his angels with God and His angels. Lucifer and company lost and were banished to the Earth becomin ha Satan and his demons awaiting judgement. This is referred to as the 'Gap Theory' in Genesis 1 and 2.
There is another school of thought that all was physically created - including the great reptiles - during Creation week but were not hostile to man and were plant eaters until sin entered the world. There are Bible references to large creatures like the 'behemoth and dragon' (see attached link for details). The Scripture is relatively quiet on this topic though.
The simple answer is whatever 'picture' is drawn by man to explain dinosaur appearances, will have to wait for futher evidence to conclude.

How does the creation account in Genesis 1 support or refute the idea of a 6-day creation?
The creation account in Genesis chapter 1 is based on the idea of a six-day creation so, read literally, it more than supports the idea. The refutation comes indirectly, because of the scientific errors in this creation account, which are now so obvious. For example, we know the sun and the stars existed before the earth was formed but, in the biblical account, it is not until Genesis 1:16, on the fourth day, that they are created.For more information, please visit: http://christianity.answers.com/theology/the-story-of-creation

The second creation account, in Genesis 2:4bff, is written in a somewhat more archaic form of Judaism and has a rather more primitive cosmology than is case with the first creation account (Genesis 1:1-2:4a). It is attributed to the Yahwist Source, who wrote early in the first millennium BCE. The Priestly Source, to whom the first creation account is attributed, wrote much later, during or shortly after the Babylonian Exile.The Yahwist account follows on relatively seamlessly through the subsequent chapters of Genesis, so by adding the later account prior to the earlier one, the Priestly Source avoided breaking into the existing sequence of stories.
