Hebrew calendar (based on masoretic text) is not too relevant. It was calculated in our era (after Christ), its not some kind of independent source.
The same with Byzantine calendar (based on Septuagint).
"In 1178 CE, Maimonides wrote in the Mishneh Torah, Sanctification of the Moon (11.16), that he had chosen the epoch from which calculations of all dates should be as "the third day of Nisan in this present year ... which is the year 4938 of the creation of the world" (March 22, 1178).[27] He included all the rules for the calculated calendar and their scriptural basis, including the modern epochal year in his work, and beginning formal usage of the anno mundi era.
There is also reference in the Talmud to years since the creation based on the calculation in the Seder Olam Rabbah of Rabbi Jose ben Halafta in about 160 CE.[30] By his calculation, based on the Masoretic Text, Adam was created in 3760 BCE, later confirmed by the Muslim chronologist al-Biruni as 3448 years before the Seleucid era."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hebrew_calendar#Anno_Mundi
"The calendar was based on the Julian calendar, except that the year started on 1 September and the year number used an Anno Mundi epoch derived from the Septuagint version of the Bible. It placed the date of creation at 5509 years before the Incarnation, and was characterized by a certain tendency which had already been a tradition among Jews and early Christians to number the years from the calculated foundation of the world (Latin: Annus Mundi or Ab Origine Mundi— "AM").[note 2] Its Year One, marking the supposed date of creation, was September 1, 5509 BC, to August 31, 5508 BC."

In the uk we have a lot of folklore stories about dragons but they were called
giant worms in our tales. Which may actually be more accurate if there were
a few almost extinct large lizards around.
I was fascinated with them as a child.
Here are a few. Number one on the list (at the end) is interesting
as it resulted in a stone carving.

I suppose the most famous is St George and the Dragon.
Its interesting how the dragon stories can be found in many countries.
Dont forget many animals have become extinct that we actually know of.
Like the do do and saber tooth tiger, plus woolly mammoth.
Is it so far fetched to think maybe some kind of dinosaur was around
after the ark. They gradually got killed off or only the smaller ones survived
for a bit longer before extinction.

" He is confident, though the Jordan rushes to his mouth. "
Brontosaurus had quite a small mouth compared to the rest of his body. When the author of Job make this an important description, the mouth of the animal had to be something significant and frequently seen with water flowing inside.
"Under the lotus plants it lies, hidden among the reeds in the marsh."
This is also not fitting very well to a dinosaur.

The post is about diasonars, yes. Bit the REAL question is about the integrity of Scripture. Was G-d right or wrong He G-d breathed Romans 5:12 sin entered the world one man, and death entered the world thru sin. Either that Scripture is right or all of Scripture is false. The disonars could not have died before sin and most certainly this is a salvation Scripture. So is Scripture wrong about when death entered the world? If not then dinosaurs must have walked with humans. It can not be both ways!
