Ok need some clarification. I know/read/have heard that dinosaurs have been extinct for more than 60million years ago. True primate fossils only go back as far as 55 million years, way after the dinosaurs snuffed it. Before that, it's proto primates, all the way to their common ancestor. We (humans) only arrived on the scene about 200,000 years ago. There's no way primates ever hobnobbed with dinosaurs, let alone humans.
... but could we be wrong about this? that dinosaurs were really and truly extinct before humans arrived on the scene? I don't mean to be silly here. I've watched a documentary many years ago, (cannot remember exactly) that we could be wrong and perhaps some dinosaurs still exist/ed on certain parts of the planet? Sounds too far fetched to me but I would like to hear from those who are familiar with these subjects.

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.Dinos never went extinct... birds ARE archosaurs. T-Rex and other raptors are thought to have feathers. After asteroid hit and mega volcanoes wiped out most dinos, huge flightless Terror Birds ruled on land and birds with 24 foot wingspans ruled the skies for 15 million years. Mammals did not achieve any real size with such large, efficient and merciless predators about. Hollywood has been having fun with Terror Birds:

I was wondering with regard to whether dinosaurs and human beings ever co-existed at one point, if at all possible..
Have a read through this article and let me know what you think.
It makes mention of human being skeletons and dinosaur skeletons found side by side. Is it possible that even though found side by side, does the one ( being the dinosaur) predate the human skeleton?
@TimeOutForMe No offense intended, but I never read articles from such amateur and unprofessional websites. Every now and then my eye is caught by a remarkable headline but as soon as I see it is an unscientic source I read no further. I only have so much time for reading, so I am picky about sources, Curious One! This is not to say all scientific articles are true or even plausible, but they generally announce that they are speculating. But in my strong opinion Dinos and humans certainly did not coexist.
It depends on what you define as a dinosaur... for example, all known birds are decendants of dinosaurs that survived the meteor strike that killed the dinosaurs, as are alligators and crocodiles and sharks. When we say that the dinosaurs were wiped out, we are referring to mainly the land-based dinos. Avian and aquatic dinos had a slightly easier time of things.

What do you think about this article where human skeleton and dinosaurs found together
Do you think this is at all possible?
