Mirror, mirror on the wall, who’s the fairest of them all?
The age of the dinosaurs spanned an impressive 200 million years. During this enormous period of time, countless species populated the earth one after the other and then disappeared again. We have compiled six of them here. But did they ever really meet?
Tyrannosaurus and Triceratops were actually face to face. This is proven by 70 million-year-old fossils from the Upper Cretaceous of North America, with skeletons wedged into each other. Velociraptor also lived in the Upper Cretaceous, but in Asia. It did not come to North America without an airplane or train. Although Utahraptor was North American, it was 60 million years too early for T-rex and Triceratops. 150 million years ago, another 20 million years earlier, Stegosaurus and Brachiosaurus roamed the same landscapes in the Upper Jurassic of North America. However, there is no evidence that they ever met.
A big dino party with everyone together? Unfortunately not – they would probably never have received the invitation to the same epoch! But at least they didn’t have to fight over the crisps… 😉
