Dinosaur Planet Long before dinosaurs' massive extinction 65 million years ago, many individual species simply disappeared. Visit dinosaur graveyards, study their bones and reconstruct how these creatures lived and died to solve four famous cold cases from the age of the dinosaurs in Dinosaur Planet. Viewers will discover the lives of multiple species of dinosaurs, from the Coelophysis of 205 million years ago to the Allosaurus and Diplodocus of the mid-Jurassic period, and see that the feathered Sinornithosaurus of China, the T. rex and Triceratops survived and thrived until the final extinction of all dinosaurs 65 million years ago. |
