Were dinosaurs before or after the Stone Age?

Dinosaurs did not exist during the Stone Age. The dinosaurs died out about 65 million years ago.

What came before dinosaurs?

At the time all Earth's land made up a single continent, Pangea. The age immediately prior to the dinosaurs was called the Permian. Although there were amphibious reptiles, early versions of the dinosaurs, the dominant life form was the trilobite, visually somewhere between a wood louse and an armadillo.
