Did pterodactyls and T Rex live at the same time?
Arambourgiania was a pterosaur – a group of reptiles that includes pterodactyls but which is distinct from dinosaurs. It lived during the Late Cretaceous period, at the same time as Tyrannosaurus rex.
What era are pterodactyls from?
Pterodactyls are an extinct species of winged reptiles (pterosaurs) that lived during the Jurassic period (about 150 million years ago.)
What period did the T Rex live in?
83.6 million years ago – 66 million years ago (Cretaceous)
Tyrannosaurus/Lived
What dinosaurs lived at the same time as Trex?
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.
What period did brontosaurus live in?
157.3 million years ago – 145 million years ago (Kimmeridgian – Tithonian)
Brontosaurus/Lived
What group did reptiles evolve from?
During the Carboniferous Period, two groups of amniotes evolved: the Sauropsida and the Theropsida. The sauropsids gave rise to reptiles, dinosaurs, and birds, and the theropsids, also known as synapsids, gave rise to mammals.
Was the pterodactyl a real dinosaur?
Pterodactyls, the common name for pterosaurs, are an extinct group of winged reptiles. Pterosaurs lived from the late Triassic Period to the end of the Cretaceous Period, when they went extinct along with dinosaurs. Pterosaurs were carnivores, feeding mostly on fish and small animals.

How many dinosaur periods were there?
three
The ‘Age of Dinosaurs’ (the Mesozoic Era) included three consecutive geologic time periods (the Triassic, Jurassic, and Cretaceous Periods). Different dinosaur species lived during each of these three periods.
