How far apart were Stegosaurus and T. rex?

The Jurassic-period dinosaur Stegosaurus already had been extinct for approximately 80-90 million years before the appearance of the Cretaceous dinosaur Tyrannosaurus, making the Tyrannosaurus much closer in time to us (we’re separated by about 65.5 million years).

Did Tyrannosaurus rex and Stegosaurus live at same time?

That’s when Stegosaurus was a species of dinosaur that walked around the Earth. But T. rex didn’t live until about 80 million years ago, up until about 65 million years ago in the great extinction event.

What is the time difference between T. rex and Stegosaurus?

Stegosaurus, for example, lived during the Late Jurassic Period, about 150 million years ago. Tyrannosaurus rex lived during the Late Cretaceous Period, about 72 million years ago. Stegosaurus was extinct for 66 million years before Tyrannosaurus walked on Earth.

What dinosaurs lived at the same time as T. rex?

Dinosaurs typically found in the same formations (Hell Creek being the best studied so far) as Tyrannosaurs include:

• Edmontosaurus annectens.
• Triceratops horridus and prorosus.
• Torosaurus.
• Pachycephalosaurus.
• Denversaurus.
• Ornithomimus(?)
• Anzu.
• Acheroraptor.

How long did T Rex exist on Earth?

The iconic Tyrannosaurus rex is a ferocious predator with razor-sharp teeth that lived 68 million years ago during the Late Cretaceous period.

How long ago do we think the dinosaurs extinction took place?

Dinosaurs went extinct about 65 million years ago (at the end of the Cretaceous Period), after living on Earth for about 165 million years.

What dinosaurs lived in what periods?

Dinosaurs lived during three periods of geological time – the Triassic period (which was 252-201 million years ago), the Jurassic period (about 201-145 million years ago) and the Cretaceous period (145-66 million years ago). These three periods together make up the Mesozoic Era.

Which dinosaurs didn’t exist together?

The truth is, dinosaurs roamed the Earth for a long time, and they all most certainly did not exist together. For example, the Stegosaurus roamed the Earth during the late Jurassic period, between 156 and 144 million years ago.

Can a T. rex eat a Stegosaurus?

Have a nice night! Tyrannosaurus Rex did not prey on Stegosaurus. Stegosaurus is from the Jurassic Period, but Tyrannosaurus is from the Cretaceous Period. But if they fought, its more of a 70:30 chance, tipping towards Stegosaurus.

Did T. rex live in Jurassic?

T. rex did not live during the Jurassic period. It lived millions of years later, during the late Cretaceous period, roughly 85 to 65 million years ago.

What was the first dinosaur?

Eoraptor
For the past twenty years, Eoraptor has represented the beginning of the Age of Dinosaurs. This controversial little creature–found in the roughly 231-million-year-old rock of Argentina–has often been cited as the earliest known dinosaur.

What came first Stegosaurus or Tyrannosaurus?

For example, the Jurassic dinosaur Stegosaurus already had been extinct for approximately 80 million years before the appearance of the Cretaceous dinosaur Tyrannosaurus. In fact, the time separating Stegosaurus and Tyrannosaurus is greater than the time separating Tyrannosaurus and you.

How much time separates us from dinosaurs?

About 83 million years separated Apatosaurus from Tyrannosaurus and Allosaurus from Triceratops. The so-called Age of Mammals—which began when the non-avian dinosaurs were wiped out—has been going on for about 66 million years. Less time separates us from Tyrannosaurus rex than separated T. rex from Stegosaurus.

Did all dinosaurs really exist?

The truth is, dinosaurs roamed the Earth for a long time, and they all most certainly did not exist together. For example, the Stegosaurus roamed the Earth during the late Jurassic period, between 156 and 144 million years ago. On the other hand, the Tyrannosaurus rex lived during the late Cretaceous period, about 67–65 million years ago.

What separates us from Tyrannosaurus rex?

Less time separates us from Tyrannosaurus rex than separated T. rex from Stegosaurus. Consider how much life has changed in the past 66 million years. Archaic mammals flourished and ultimately went extinct long before anything like the world’s modern fauna appeared.
