    I thought O2 was higher during the time of the dinosaurs? Maybe that was earlier… I don’t remember when the time of the big bugs was.

      You could be right… that far back it’s easy to mix up which millions and millions of years you’re talking about

      Big bugs were in the carboniferous, about 350-300 million years ago.

      Dinos didn’t evolve until about 240 million years ago, and didn’t take over the world until about 200 million years ago. T Rex evolved quite late as far as non-avian dinos go, only about 68 million years ago.
