Probably a few thousand or a few tens of thousands of years. Last summer, scientists had to break a trex leg bone in half to get it on a small helicopter, and this is what they found inside the thing:

Anybody who figures that stuff is 70 million years old is basically deluded.

I believe the latest discoveries have pushed it back to about 70MYA (70MYA-65MYA = 5MY)....Immediately before then you have Daspletosaurus and Gorgosaurus, basically smaller relatives...
