Why is this controversial, or even news? It has long been known that small mammals coexisted with dinosaurs throughout their history. In fact, the first fossil mammals are as old or older than the first dinosaur fossils. I fail to see how this story is supposed to support young earth creationist claims.

“Why is this controversial, or even news?”
It further validates Flintstones & Rubbles (1963) research and animated documentary.

History cannot be proven by the scientific method. It can only be done by reviewing the historic documents of the day, and determining if the witnesses are reliable or not.
Now, the age of historic documents can be verified to a certain extent by the scientific method by using techniques that have repeatable results, and also by comparing them to other documents of that same time.
As for the New Testament, the follow source has this information:
Reliability of the New Testament as Historical Documents
- "Astounding" number of ancient manuscripts extant: 5,000 Greek manuscripts, 10,000 Latin and 9,000 other--totaling over 24,000 manuscript copies or portions of the New Testament. These are dated from 100 to 300 years after the originals. (There are no original manuscripts ["autographs"] extant, but the number and similarity of copies allows scholars to reconstruct the originals.)
- Early fragments: John Ryland manuscript 130 A.D. in Egypt; Bodmer manuscript containing most of John's gospel 150-200 A.D.; Magdalen fragment from Mat. 26 believed by some to be within a few years of Jesus' death; Gospel fragments found among the Dead Sea Scrolls dated as early as 50 A.D.
- Comparison with other ancient documents (available copies versus the originals):
Caesar—10 copies—1000 year gap
Tacitus—20 copies—1000 year gap
Plato—7 copies—1200 year gap
- F. F. Bruce: "There is no body of ancient literature in the world which enjoys such a wealth of good attestation as the New Testament."
- William F. Albright: "Thanks to the Qumran discoveries, the New Testament proves to be in fact what it was formerly believed to be: the teaching of Christ and his immediate followers circa.25 and circa. 80 AD."

While I concede your premise and leave the details to the professionals, I might warn against the dangers of comparing saurischia and sauropsida.

Best size for egg eating mammals competing with each other during the seasonal egg eating contests. No kid.

Were these Fred & Barnes tracks with the Dinosaur?

I believe early mammals did coexist with dinosaurs. Of course they did. They didn't just spring up out of thin air. Some simply survived whatever did in most of the dinosaurs. We have a good handle on where birds come from (BADD theory). Plus crocs and gators hung on but did change some.

Some of the tracks in A look very much like the tracks of the Virginia Opossum.

I should spread something on the table below my window where I feed possums and see if I get a fuzzy print.

Just grab one by the tail. I had a pet ‘possum. Their feet are cool. Hind foot has an opposable “thumb” with no nail.

Exactly right. Plenty of fossil and DNA evidence for this.

“History cannot be proven by the scientific method.”
Your theory is flawed.
Some history can indeed be proven by the scientific method.
Not all of it, but some of it.

I don’t see it. Looks like it’s starting to snow and they’re making fun of the furry little creature.
