Scientists find dinosaur that was scourge of Jurassic Europe

A Torvosaurus gurneyi dinosaur is depicted in an artist's rendering.
I love dinosaurs and anything to do with them. One sentence in this article, Scientists find dinosaur that was scourge of Jurassic Europe, about a newly discovered predator, really puts everything in perspective about the era of dinosaurs:

"This animal, Torvosaurus, was already a fossil for 80 million years before the T. Rex ever walked the Earth," Mateus said.

The lengths of time being talked about here are simply staggering. It makes the time we humans have been around look even more insignificant.
