The popei plant came around right as the dinosaurs were going extinct... most dinosaurs has really small nasal cavities...\nmakes you think....

Most dinosaurs are extinct. The rest just got smaller & more adaptable. All reptiles are descendants from dinosaurs. Crocodiles, Alligators, lizards, snakes, turtles, tortoises, Komodo Dragons are "living" dinosaurs.\nNot counting the stuff that lives in interior (unexplored) africa and the amazon rain forest, and the loch ness monster, which is a pleiosaur or something.\n\nDinosaurs died out a while back. A huge meteor smacked into earth- you can see the impact crater from the hit in Arizona or Russia- the evidence is that earth takes a world-killer on the chin once every 10,000 years or so- which means we're about due for another one. \nThe meteor impact threw up a huge amount of ash and dirt- like when a volcano blows, or after an atomic weapon is used, and blocked out the sun's heat from earth, what they call "nuclear winter". The earth cooled and went into an ice age until all the dust and ash had settled back down from the atmosphere. Since reptiles & dinosaurs & dragons are all cold blooded, they went into hibernation and most died off. Only the smallest and most adaptable survived.\n\nIf it hadn't been for this, mammals would never have evolved into higher life forms, because we kept getting eaten by dinosaurs and dragons.

The sudden mass extinction of the non-avian dinosaurs, which occurred around 65 million years ago, is one of the most intriguing mysteries in paleontology. Many other groups of animals also became extinct at this time, including ammonites (nautilus-like mollusks), mosasaurs, plesiosaurs, pterosaurs, herbivorous turtles and crocodiles, most birds, and many groups of mammals.[32] The nature of the event that caused this mass extinction has been extensively studied since the 1970s. At present, several related theories are broadly supported by paleontologists.\n\nThese were some of the causes for their extinction as well:-\n\nAsteroid collision\nMultiple collisions—the Oort cloud\nEnvironment changes\n\nFor more information go through the link below.

Argentinosaurus.... thats a dinosaur

Dinosaurs died out 65 million years ago.\n\nDinosaurs were not wiped out by a meteorite or a planetary catastrophe but by a serious flatulence problem. Dinosaur wind contained a high proportion of methane gas - powerful enough to penetrate the ozone layer. \n\n"The animals, weighing from 80 to 100 tonnes, would eat on average between 130 and 260 kilos of food every day. They would fart non-stop." \n\n\nDinosaurs became extinct after more than 160 million years on earth\n \nDuring the dinosaurs' time on earth "the atmosphere became charged with methane, which finally damaged the ozone layer and brought about great changes in the vegetation." \n\nThe changes caused a food shortage which eventually wiped them out. \n\nThe ozone layer protects the atmosphere from the sun's ultra-violet rays. \n\nThere are numerous theories as to why dinosaurs died out. \n\nThe most common are: \n\n\nTheir was a Plague of Caterpillars that ate all the vegetatian\n\nDinosaur AIDS\n\nThey all developed cataracts and couldn't see where they were in order to eat\n\n\nWho Knows?

Wow, the first 4 answers were very wrong.  The truth is that the answer to your question is not well understood scientifically.  You may want to check here for more reading.\nhttp://www.palaeos.com/Plants/default.htm#Land\n\nIt's thought that the first land plants were more like the modern bryophytes that lived around waters edges.  They probably would have adapted to the drying conditions that took place seasonally.  From this, they would have been less dependent on a fully aquatic life.

Thye lived a long time ago, and the closest living relative to the dinosaurs is the crocodile.  Crocodiles have remained unchanged for 1000's of years.

The answer is Phanerozoic.  If you mean Era, then Mesozoic is the answer, because plants became common in the Paleozoic.

Egg, because dinosaurs laid eggs too, and I'm pretty sure there were no chickens around at that time.

Salaginella, Isoetes, Psilotum, Lepidodendron, Paurodendron, Equisetum, Pleuromeia, Nathorstiana, Phylloglossum, Tmesipteris, Pertica, Zosterophyllum, Psilophyton, Sawdonia, Horneophyton, Crooksonia, Rhynia, Aglaophyton, Onoclea, Todea, Osmunda\n\nMany of these are extinct.\n\nDon't listen to the first answer; fungi are not plants.\n\nGlad to see more people taking an interest in these things.\nThere is also a great book called "Primitive Land Plants," by F.O. Bower.

Some tortoises eat only vegetables while the t-rex only ate meat.  Then there were also dinosaurs that were omnivores eating both.

The biggest dinosaur is probably ultrasauros. We only have a few bones of this late Jurassic (140 million years ago) plant-eater from Colorado, but the bones show an animal who was six-stories high and may have weighed more than 50 tons. A four-legged plant-eating dinosaur found recently in Argentina, argentinasaurus, may have been even heavier than ultrasauros. If it was a brachiosaur like ultrauros then it probably was the biggest, but if it was a titanosaur, another kind of big plant-eater common in South America, it wouldn't have been so bulky.

Plant fossils include roots, wood, leaves, seeds, fruit, pollen, spores, phytoliths, and amber (the fossilized resin produced by some plants). Fossil land plants are recorded in terrestrial, lacustrine, fluvial and nearshore marine sediments. Pollen, spores and algae (dinoflagellates and acritarchs) are used for dating sedimentary rock sequences. The remains of fossil plants are not as common as fossil animals, although plant fossils are locally abundant in many regions worldwide.\n\nEarly fossils of these ancient plants show the individual cells within the plant tissue. The Devonian period also saw the evolution of what many believe to be the first modern tree, Archaeopteris. This fern-like tree combined a woody trunk with the fronds of a fern, but produced no seeds.\n\nThe Coal Measures are a major source of Palaeozoic plant fossils, with many groups of plants in existence at this time. The spoil heaps of coal mines are the best places to collect; coal itself is the remains of fossilised plants, though structural detail of the plant fossils is rarely visible in coal. In the Fossil Forest at Victoria Park in Glasgow, Scotland, the stumps of Lepidodendron trees are found in their original growth positions.\n\nThe fossilized remains of conifer and angiosperm roots, stems and branches may be locally abundant in lake and inshore sedimentary rocks from the Mesozoic and Caenozoic eras. Sequoia and its allies, magnolia, oak, and palms are often found.\n\nPetrified wood is common in some parts of the world, and is most frequently found in arid or desert areas were it is more readily exposed by erosion. Petrified wood is often heavily silicified (the organic material replaced by silicon dioxide), and the impregnated tissue is often preserved in fine detail. Such specimens may be cut and polished using lapidary equipment. Fossil forests of petrified wood have been found in all continents.\n\nFossils of seed ferns such as Glossopteris are widely distributed throughout several continents of the southern hemisphere, a fact that gave support to Alfred Wegener's early ideas regarding Continental drift theory.

To my knowledge the Bible doesn't mention anything about dinosaurs.  I've read about donkeys and giants, but no dinosaurs.  I figure I'll just ask Jesus about them when I get up there.
