Dinosaur models

Dinosaur models in Dr. Soong's laboratory.

Dinosaurs are a group of reptilian organisms that were indigenous to Earth from 248 to 65 million years ago. The group went extinct at the end of that period, possibly due to a meteorite impact in the Gulf of Mexico. (ENT: "Azati Prime")

Doctor Noonien Soong kept several dinosaur models, a model skeleton of a triceratops and a large Tyrannosaurus rex skull in his laboratory on Terlina III. After the Doctor died in early 2367, Data gave the model dinosaurs to the brothers Jake and Willie Potts. (TNG: "Brothers")

The Hadrosaur lived in the Cretaceous Era. It was the most highly evolved cold-blooded organism to develop from the Eryops and is believed to have vanished when a mass extinction occurred at the end of the Cretaceous period. The Hadrosaur is most likely a direct evolutionary predecessor of the Voth. (VOY: "Distant Origin")

The skeletons of two prehistoric animals (one definitely a dinosaur) were on display in the Voyager-section of the Kyrian Museum of Heritage. A pterodactyl in flight was also on display, hanging from the ceiling. (VOY: "Living Witness")

Captain Archer once related the Xindi-Reptilians to dinosaurs, saying that many of them had rather small brains, and weren't smart enough to survive extinction. (ENT: "Azati Prime")

Godzilla was a 20th century Earth film about a mutated dinosaur. When Kes and Neelix were monitoring Earth television while the ship was stranded in 1996, one of the six channels they were watching showed an old Godzilla movie. (VOY: "Future's End, Part I")
