OT Cycads not ‘living fossils’

I read about this a while back.
Dinosaurs came in a variety of sizes from very, very large to very small,
and were not the only terrestrial life forms, so undoubtedly some species
or other forces fulfilled the requirements.

My take -- one doesn't usually think of dinosaurs deftly plucking seeds
from a
cone to enjoy the fleshy aril; that's something a bird or small mammal
might
do. I wonder what the cycads were like that depended upon dinosaur
dispersal.
