C'mon guys. Use some imagination. Everyone knows that during the Late Cretaceous period many species of saurian became intelligent and evolved to manipulate tools with an opposable thumb.
A great Saurian civilization arose on Earth and ascended into the heavens colonizing the second and fourth rocks from the sun 100 million years ago. Dinonauts had outposts on the moons of Saturn and Jupiter. Some left the solar system for distant worlds.
Then the Yucatan Incident drove them into exile and Mammalian Mafia groups took over.
When we send our astronauts to Mars, we will find evidence that Dinosaurs were there first. They might still be there underground. They might launch an invasion to retake Earth.
If we aren't careful about this delicate situation, we might be an extinct species real soon. We don't want the chimps and dolphins laughing at us for being the new food and dietary source for them hungry hungry dinos.
The Dinoapocalypse is near!!!
