Does the Qur'an talk about dinosaurs and their extinction?

Does the Qur'an talk about dinosaurs and their extinction?

2:164 Indeed, in the creation of the heavens and the earth, and alternation of the night and the day, and the ships which sail in the sea with that which benefits people, and what Allah sent down from the sky of water, giving life thereby to the earth after its death, and dispersing therein of every moving creature, and directing the winds and the clouds controlled between the sky and the earth, surely are Signs for a people who use their intellect.

31:10 He created the heavens without pillars that you see and has cast firm mountains in the earth lest it (might) shake with you, and He dispersed therein from every creature. And We sent down water from the sky, then We caused to grow therein of every noble kind.

42:29 And among His Signs is the creation of the heavens and the earth and whatever creatures He has dispersed in both of them. And He is All-Powerful over their gathering, when He wills.

24:45 And Allah created every moving creature from water. Of them is who walks on its belly, and of them is who walks on two legs, and of them is who walks on four. Allah creates what He wills. Indeed, Allah on every thing is All-Powerful.

76:28 We created them and We strengthened their forms, and when We will, We can change their likeness (with) a change.

4:133 If He wills, He can take you away O people, and bring others. And Allah is over that All-Powerful.

14:19 Do you not see that Allah created the heavens and the earth in truth? If He wills, He can remove you and bring a new creation.

40:64 Allah is the One Who made for you the earth a place of settlement and the sky a canopy and He formed you, and perfected your forms, and provided you of the good things. That is Allah, your Lord. Then blessed is Allah, the Lord of the worlds.

27:88 And you see the mountains, thinking they are firmly fixed, while they will pass as the passing of the clouds. The Work of Allah Who perfected all things. Indeed, He is All-Aware of what you do.

45:4 And in your creation and what He disperses of the moving creatures are Signs for a people who are certain.

40:82 Do they not travel through the land and see how was the end of those who were before them? They were more numerous than them and mightier in strength and impressions on the land, but what they use to earn did not avail them.

35:16 If He wills, He (can) do away with you and bring in a new creation. 35:17 And that (is) not difficult on Allah.

(The Verses do not explicitly speak about dinosaurs, but it could implicitly answer questions about the creation and extinction of creatures)(Allah knows best)

6:2 He (is) the One Who created you from clay then He decreed a term - and a specified term with Him, yet you doubt.

7:34 And for every nation (is a fixed) term. So when their term comes, (they can) not seek to delay an hour, nor seek to advance (it).

24:43 Do you not see that Allah drives clouds, then joins between them, then makes them (into) a mass, then you see the rain come forth from their midst? And He sends down from the sky, (from) mountains, within it is hail, and He strikes with it whom He wills and averts it from whom He wills. The flash of its lighting almost takes away the sight.

(Verse 24:43 speaks about striking with “mountains / masses (e.g., asteroids, meteors)”. For example, the meteor that killed the dinosaurs was the size of a mountain. According to the article “The impact that wiped out the dinosaurs” in “psi(dot)edu”, “an asteroid roughly 10 km across hit Earth about 65 million years ago… leading to the extinction of roughly 3/4 of species that existed at that time”)(It is a scientific fact that water came to earth from outer space, from within asteroids. It is interpreted that Verse 24:43 confirms that fact. According to the context, “Jiim-Ba-Lam” could not necessarily mean “mountains of the earth”, but is may also refer to “masses” (e.g., asteroids, meteors). The Verse explicitly says “(from) mountains” and “from the sky”, so the “mountains” came from the sky)(The root of “mountain” is “Jiim-Ba-Lam”, and it means “Big / think / coarse / rough; much / numerous; any of the mountains of the earth that is big and long; relating to mountain / mountains, etc.”)(Allah knows best)
