What´cha think?

Perhaps the dinosaurs were indeed advanced enough to the point in which they posed a genuine threat to the Reapers and were absolutely obliterated. The remaining dinosaurs moved to Palaven and thus the Turians were made.

Makes sense. We have no evidence of a civilisation around that era and the reapers probably made sure that there was nothing left.

My theory is that the dinosaurs made a huge mass effect cannon that fired at the reapers but was sabotaged by indocrtrinated dinosaurs and caused it to explode, thus destroying the entire planet and causing the cataclysm which resulted in the extinction of all life on Earth.

It makes sense.

Except the majority of dinosaurs did not have the mental capacity to preform any sort of advanced thought and did not have limbs to help in the construction of any sort of advanced structure or ship. The exception, with thought in mind, would be raptors who were pack hunters which required a sort of advanced tactical thinking and social interaction but nothing on the scale of what is needed to produce a space faring species.

This. Cranial capacity in the big dinosaurs was more like the size of a walnut. Most mammels would be smarter than they ever were.

On top of that, they did not have opposible thumbs either so they couldn't build anything. Hell, most of them didn't even have usable fingers.

Exactly, this makes it all highly unlikely if not totallly impossible that dinosaurs could have constructed any kind of society, especially one capable of space exploration.

I'd also like to point out that dinosaurs weren't a single species. They were many different species spread over a long period of time. Many of them had adapted to solely eating another kind of dinosaur, or avoid being eaten.
There would not have been any unity amongst them and no single species was widespread enough to go it alone.

One reason the Reapers would avoid harvesting a species that had not achieved space-flight is a lack of bodies. They melt you down to make new eapers. That is the point of the cycle. Reproduction via genocide. If you have not spread to multiple different planets and systems, you likely do not have enough genetic material to compse a new Reaper.

Someone advanced enough to detect them might be exterminated just to keep secrecy, but seriously, the odds of locating a reaper as it moves into a system is pretty slim. I would glass the planet just in case, but I do not require the sacrifice of tens of billions of sapients to have a child. It would suck to have wiped out the only species that would have been in place for the next cycle at the end of the last cycle.

Of course, no one knows whether the Protheans were one race or many. The Reapers did not leave the bodies, so they could have been like the current paradigm, with multiple species contributing and interacting.

^love the image above

would be great when discovering uncharted worlds in 3 and find earthly dinosaurs, maybe a little evolved to come to know reapers wiped them out on earth to place them in other worlds ))
