Cretaceous dinosaurs

1118 genera whose first appearance in the Paleobiology Database falls in the Cretaceous period (145 to 66 million years ago).

Genera are assigned to a period from their PBDB first-appearance age. Genera with no recorded age, or an age outside the Mesozoic, are listed only on the A-Z index.

Cretaceous genera by diet

1118 of the 1118 Cretaceous genera on this page (100.0%) have a diet value recorded in their own PBDB record: 420 carnivore, 650 herbivore, 48 omnivore. 0 carry no recorded diet value and so appear on no diet page.

Counts are taken from the diet value recorded on each genus page. The diet pages list the genera behind these counts.
