Dinosaur trivia: stegosaurus, t rex, and time

More years separate Stegosaurus from Tyrannosaurus rex than separate Tyrannosaurus rex from Homo sapiens.

(Stegosaurus lived 155 million years ago; T rex lived 65 million years ago. 90 million years separate stegosaurus from T rex; 65 million years separate T rex from us.)
