Dragons or Dinosaurs: Creation or Evolution (2010)
Mythological representations of dragons appear in cultures worldwide, often resembling dinosaur species identified through their fossilized remains. Could this mean dragon legends are rooted in reality? This documentary seeks to find out. Interviews with researchers indicate that the existence of dinosaurs might actually help support the biblical story of creation and explain other mysteries of our cosmic origins.

Here’s a book on it:

Are dragon stories the result of overactive imaginations or reality?
Most people believe that dragons are the stuff of fantasy. But, dragon legends can be found around the world—amazingly similar, compelling, and difficult to simply dismiss as baseless tales or mere lore. This fascinating new book traces the evidence for these creatures throughout Europe, China, the USA, South America, Greece, the United Kingdom, Babylon, and elsewhere. Whether battling saints or terrorizing Aztec Indians and medieval maidens, these creatures provide a fascinating link to man’s true history, and a shadowy mystery—lingering just beyond the edges of our understanding. This high-quality, full-color book includes creative doors, panels, and booklets throughout. Appeals to nearly all ages.

I agree with the premise that dragon legends are based on the dinosauria. But you don’t have to have humans and dinosaurs existing at the same time to get there.

People who hunted and raised animals certainly knew basic animal anatomy. If they found skeletons in the ground they would be able to reconstruct them to some degree.

3. Iroquois living along the Mohawk River in NY State described to the Dutch in 1640`s in 2 separate instances of a giant bird soaring down and snatching up their people and flying away.

4. Mohawk ``Talkers`` on the St. Regis Reservation Canadian side have legends of giant birds and giant monsters crushing their villages which they were unable to stop with their spears.

5. Flattened Gold nugget in museum here has figure of a mammoth or mastodon scratched into it: nugget was found in 1814 in the eastern Adirondack Mountains in a cave.
