The fossil record shows that the great dinosaurs died out 65 million years ago when a 6-mile wide asteroid struck the earth in Mexico. Only the ancestor of birds survived.
The earliest direct ancestor of humans emerged 6.7 millionyears ago, again according to the fossil record. So there is a 58.3 million year gap between the classic dinosaurs and humans. There have been no fossil dinosaurs, save birds, found for that period. None.
The evidence is conclusive: Man and non-avian dinosaurs have never coexisted.

Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. You seem to throw out these "science is settled" comments a lot, while, from where I sit, it isn't conclusive at all.
Hell, I listed at least 5 evidences in the OP.

Here is a sculpture of a stegosaurus that was found in Italy.
And a newspaper article about the find.
In France they have this sculpture of a creature they call a Tarasque. It's a shell covered animal with a club for a tail.
Interestingly, it looks just like an anklyosaurus.
Wonder what Herodotus has to say about it... 5th century BC.
John de Trokelow, 14th century AD:
It is the height of arrogance to say that "we haven't found no bones, therefore the science is settled."
I have now provided a rather long list of evidences.

Herodotus – 5th Century B.C.
“There is a place in Arabia, situated very near the city of Buto, to which I went,
on hearing of some winged serpents; and when I arrived there, I saw bones and spines of serpents, in such quantities as it would be impossible to describe. The
form of the serpent is like that of the water-snake; but he has wings without
feathers, and as like as possible to the wings of a bat.”
John de Trokelow, 14th century AD:
quote:
"Close to the town of Bures, near Sudbury, there has lately appeared, the great
hurt of the countryside, a dragon, vast in body, with a crested head, teeth like a
saw, and a tail extending to an enormous length. Having slaughtered the
shepherd of a flock, it devoured many sheep."
The Travels of Marco Polo, 1948, Book 2, Chapter XL, pg. 185-186

The stories passed down over thousands of years and drawings found should make you wonder. Science says there was a 58 million year gap between dinos and humans. How did folks thousands of years ago get these stories and where did they get the idea for their drawings? I doubt they were out digging up and examining fossils.

Yes, like this cave painting of a brachiosaurus found in a cave in Utah.

It's amazing. Can you imagine two guys in a cave thinking about what to draw and they come up with this giant lizard looking thing with wings that can fly. Great imagination. But guess what, per evidence from science, this existed:
Probably just coincidence.

Yes. Herodotus is like the grandfather of history. He gave a first hand account of seeing these flying serpents. Which, as you point out, science fully admits existed.
Otherwise, how does a guy from the 5th century BC know that these flying beasts had no feathers and instead looked like an enormous bat?
It's because some of them survived. Seems pretty obvious to me.

Does it not say he saw their bones and spines? He could have just seen fossils.
I don't know if man and dinosaur coexisted or not, but I wouldn't rule it out. I think that man has been around a lot longer than we think

I would also again point out that trying to refute first hand testimonies with a fossil record is ridiculous. I would venture that over 99% of animals that die never leave a fossil behind. There are numerous specific circumstances that must be satisfied in order for a fossil to form to begin with.
Saying there's no fossil record, therefore it isn't real supposes 1) that all fossils have been found, and 2) that all fossils found have been accurately dated.
Neither of which is true.

You're correct. I guess that's actually a second hand account. But the thing is, he was reporting on what other people were actually seeing. SOMEONE knew that those flying beasts were 1) reptiles, and 2) had no feathers.

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Anecdotal evidence is not extraordinary. In fact, it's ordinary.
Can you seriously discount the absence of dinosaur fossils younger than 65 million years? There's just nothing to be found. They died out when the asteroid impact in Mexico devastated the earth. Only birds remain of that great line of species.
The emergence of dragons and other dinosaur-like creatures in many cultures is no doubt due to the discovery of dinosaur fossils by ancient peoples. China, for example, has a rich dragon lore and has the richest fossil beds of dinosaurs on earth. Coincidence? Only to those who choose to be ignorant.

Many people see UFOs as well. A human eccentricity is "People see what they want to see."
