Yes, but what if only the most recent ones have been that length of time?
Maybe the earlier "peak ages" lasted for a much longer time, and they are
gradually getting shorter. This could mean that, while the dinosaurs
walked the earth, the mana level was continually high, while it dropped
lower millions of years later. There are various times in history when
mass extinctions take place, so perhaps from SR's POV that could be
explained by either the end of a magic age, or by a Scourge.
(Not that any of this is supported by FASA evidence, I'm just thinking out
loud.)

Now, yes. After the next Scourge, who knows... :)

Maybe dragons are the dinosaurs' descendants...
