The Dinosaurs became active in 1982, with Albin, Dryden, Cipollina, Melton, and Hunter at its center. Hunter left the group in 1985, before the end of its "classic" run, although he returned to record a track for their only album. By 1987, Merl Saunders had more or less taken Hunter's place in the band. The original group presumably ran its course up through 1989, at which point the group broke up.[2] John Cipollina died just two weeks after the band's final concert, during which he had to sit in a wheelchair due to health issues.
In 1988, the band released its only studio album, Dinosaurs.[2] In 2005, the band released a retrospective album on the Evangeline label, entitled Friends of Extinction.
