You might think dating dinosaurs would be an easy task, but in reality it's actually quite difficult. We date dinosaurs based on where we find their fossils, using the ages of the rocks that they're found in. This means that the 'ages' of different dinosaurs is actually indirect and constrained by how well we're able to date the rocks they were found in.
