The original sentence is consistent with the assertion that the mountains had formed before the first boney ancestors of dinosaurs evolved. This is also consistent with the presented timeline.
The correction would mean that the mountains may be older or younger than dinosaurs, because they are only older than bones, and the article is deafeningly silent on the issue of whether dinosaurs had bones.
It’s a failure of literacy on the poster’s part, hence the downvotes.
“The mountains aren’t just older than dinosaurs” implies that they are older than dinosaurs but not not only dinosaurs. But I’d be lying if I said I never skipped words sometimes, so whatever.

But he’s clearly being tongue-in-cheek? Is it time to bring the /s to lemmy?
