    One of the most common questions people have about dinosaurs is what era they lived in. Dinosaurs lived during the Mesozoic Era, which is also known as the Age of Reptiles. This era lasted from about 252 million years ago to 66 million years ago.

    Throughout the Mesozoic Era, which lasted from about 252.2 million to 66 million years ago, dinosaurs were the dominant terrestrial animals. The reign of the dinosaurs came to an abrupt end about 66 million years ago, marking the close of the Cretaceous Period.

    The Mesozoic Era is divided into three time periods, the Triassic, Jurassic, and Cretaceous. The Utah Geological Survey recognizes the presence of over 27 sequential, non-overlapping dinosaur faunas spanning 165 million years from the Mesozoic Era.
