I would say anywere from 20-40 years for a large theropod. Small theropods probably had a wide variation in lifespan similar to modern birds.

Sauropods, at least the large ones, probably lived from 70-80 years old based on growth ring studies.

As for Ceratopsians there is not much info on lifespan for them at this point.

Ian Malcolm: No I'm, I'm simply saying that life - uhhh - finds a way.

Why do theropods live so short?

The oldest T.rex was Sue at 28 years old. The biggest theropods therefore lived in the 25-35 year range, which isn't that short.
