> Using Walker's Mammals of the World I have done a rough count of mammals in the dinosize range of a quarter kilogram on up and got around 1000 species, excluding those from tundra polar habitats that were not around back then. On the other hand the megafauna killed off by humans in the last 50K years were not included. And maybe those mammals under a kg should be dropped because the non avian dinosaurs under that level were preavian theropods. And today the range of habitats is greater than back then, more mountain highlands, grasslands, etc. So it is probable that at a given time the non avian dinosaur species numbered in the mid or high hundreds, and the 600-1000 estimate is plausible, but maybe a little high. It is very unlikely that bird diversity was anywhere close to modern levels in those primitive times, probably in the hundreds or low thousands.
