No. The last dinosaurs died out 64 million years ago. In fact, there were at least 3 major extinction periods in which nearly all the species of that time were wiped out. The dinosaurs of the Jurassic and Cretacious periods were quite different, but new species began to appear millions of years after each extinction event. On the other hand, the very earliest hominids lived around 7 million years ago, and modern humans (Homo sapiens) did not appear until around 200,000 years ago. So, scientists have never found dinosaur and human fossils together in the same geological layer.
Supposed human and dinosaur footprints can be seen together in solidified volcanic ash at Glen Rose in Texas. They involve some indistinct markings of uncertain origin, and a smaller number of doctored and carved specimens. They are not human footprints.

Is a dinosaur footprint a trace fossil or a body fossil?
A dinosaur footprint is considered a trace fossil because it is evidence of the animal's activity, rather than a physical part of the actual dinosaur's body. Trace fossils provide information about the behavior and movements of ancient organisms.
Why is a dinosaur fossil heavier than the original?
Part or all the organic material has been replaced by "rock".
Do Termites produce more CO2 than human's burning of fossil fuels?
No, termites do not produce more CO2 than human burning of fossil fuels. It is estimated that human burning of fossil fuels is the largest source of CO2 emissions, contributing significantly to climate change. Termites do produce some CO2 as part of their natural digestion process, but it is not on the same scale as human activities.
A fossil found under a layer of rock is usually?
older than the rock layer above it and can provide information about the time period in which it lived and the environmental conditions at that time. This helps scientists estimate the age of the rock layers and understand the history of the area where the fossil was found.
How do you estimate the age of the Earth using fossil record?
Cannot be done as the Earth is much older than the oldest fossils.

What is greater than an elephant that is human made?
maybe an airplane or a building.
Is a fossil older or younger than a another fossil in a lower rock?
According to the geologic Law of Superposition, in undisturbed rock strata, the deepest rock layers are always the oldest. Accordingly, a fossil found in a lower layer of undisturbed rock would be the older.
Why do people say millions of years ago if were in the thousands?
The answer depends on what were in the thousands. In any case, human civilisations are older than the Western calendar, human beings are older than human civilisation, the earth is older than human beings, the solar system is older than the earth and so on. The universe is estimated as being over 14 billion years old.
How can scientists understand what the relevant age of a fossil is?
There are layers of earth that are deposited over time and based on where a fossil is in the layers a scientist can understand what the age of the fossil is relevant to another fossil in a different layer of earth. The law of superposition says that new sediment is deposited on top of old sediment so, the sediment in the bottom layer is the oldest and the sediment at the top is the youngest. Because of this the fossils in the bottom layer are the oldest and the fossils near the top are the youngest. Say you have 10 layers of rock, and the top layer is number 1 (the youngest) and the bottom layer is number 10 (the oldest). Even if a scientist can't tell exactly how old a fossil is if they know it is in a layer deeper than another fossil they know it is older than that fossil so, a fossil from layer 9 is older than a fossil from layer 5 which is also older than a fossil from layer 3. This is relative age. If we take it a step further... If a scientist knows that the fossil in layer 4 is 65 million years old than we not only know the fossils in layer 5-10 are older than the one in layer 4, but that they are all older than 65 million years old. So, the fossils in layer 1-3 would be less than 65 million years old. Scientists can know how old a specific fossil is sometimes based on whether or not it is an index fossil (a fossil that only occurred during a very small, specific interval of time), or if it is possible to carbon date it or something in the same layer.

It is estimated that human burning of fossil fuels is the largest source of CO2 emissions, contributing significantly to climate change. Termites do produce some CO2 as part of their natural digestion process, but it is not on the same scale as human activities.
Are dino's brain smarter than human?
A troodon was the smartest dinosaur but most dinosaurs were dumber than humans. hooray us!
HOW ARE ARCHAEA different FROM BACTERIA?
archae are different because they are simpler than normal ones, smaller and they are way older . . .dinosaur status
How could you tell which fossil is older?
The older fossils are found deeper than newwer ones. :3 oh wow u just thought that up
What species is older humans or dogs?
Dogs are older than human because they leave longer than any other creatures
What is A fossil found under a layer of rock is usually .?
It is usually older than the rock layer it is found under.
