Sorry I'm nerdy enough to have researched the topic in the past...
While Nintendo has often flipped flopped on the topic, Bowser was most likely a turtle.

Dinosaurs are a specific subgroup of the archosaurs, a group that also includes crocodiles, pterosaurs, and birds. Although pterosaurs are close relations, they are not true dinosaurs. Even more distantly related to dinosaurs are the marine reptiles, which include the plesiosaurs and ichthyosaurs.
And just to get it out of the way, mammoths and mastodons are mammals and did not appear until many millions of years after the close of the Cretaceous period.
Also, Dimetrodon is neither a reptile nor a mammal, but a basal synapsid, i.e., an early relative of the ancestors of mammals and is not a dinosaur either.
