'''Dinosauria''' (-orum, ''n. pl.''), vulgo '''dinosauri''' (-orum, ''m. pl.'') ([[nomen zoologicum]] ex [[verbum (grammatica generalis)|verbis]] [[Lingua Graeca|Graecis]] ''δεινός'' 'terribilis' + ''σαῦρος'' '[[lacerta]], [[reptile]]'), sunt diversissimus [[animalia|animalium]] grex, qui ut [[vertebrata]] [[animal terrestre|terrestria]] orbem terrarum plus quam 160 000 000 [[annus|annos]] regnabant, ab [[Aevum Triassicum|Aevo Triassico]] (abhinc annos circa 230 000 000) ad finem [[Aevum Cretaceum|Aevi Cretacei]] (abhinc annos circa 65 000 000). [[Exstinctio]] plurimarum [[species (taxinomia)|specierum]] per [[Cretacea-Tertiaria exstinctionis res|Cretaceam-Tertiariam exstinctionis rem]] facta est.
