Half the examples in the story are underwater, but there are ancient ecosystems on land, too. Trees definitely overlapped with dinosaurs. Forests have existed for at least 380 million years. But the dominant types of trees on the planet have changed a lot over time

I did not mean to suggest there was no overlap, just that dinosaurs came first. But the environment I was thinking of was more the stuff where extremophiles are found. Geothermal vents and deep dark caves and stuff.
