Dinosaurs and Pterosaurs - Animals in the Fossil sites, and Biodiversity
The followings are extinct Dinosaurs and Pterosaurs excavated. Dinosaurs and Pterosaurs lived from Triassic to Cretaceous and survived once at Great Dying④(205 Mya). The explanation in brackets is the ages they lived in extinct species. Note that Mya is million years ago. For example, "48.6~40.4 Mya" shows a range between 48.6 and 40.4 million years ago. The time range is shown in the Geological Time Table. The followings are a part of the Evolutionary Tree.
