Geological timescale. Triassic period: 250â200 million years ago. Jurassic period: 200â145 million years ago. Cretaceous period: 145â65 million years ago. Dinosaurs roamed the planet for about 165 million years, during a time in the Earthâs history called the Mesozoic Era. It is difficult to imagine how long this was, until we compare it with ourselves: humans have lived on Earth for less than two million years. During the Mesozoic Era, the Earthâs landmasses changed dramatically, new seas were formed, and plants and animals evolved.
Dinosaurs first appeared in the Triassic period about 230 million  years ago. Non-avian dinosaurs roamed the earth until about 65  million years ago and then were wiped out,â¦ most like by the impact  of an asteroid or comet. Birds, which are now classified with the  dinosaurs, continue to live to this day. Dinosaurs lived on earth for over 160 million years. They were the dominant terrestrial vertebrates from the late Triassic period (around 230 million years ago) to the end of the Cretaceous period (around 65 million years ago).
