Maybe Maro or WOTC should've made a poll on Twitter for the community to post which cards they think should be Dinos? That way they could've had a good list to start off with, since the whole history of Magic makes it easy to miss cards.
Also, serious question: Have they ever errata'd creature typed like this before?

Jshrwd already mentioned the Grand Creature Type Update, but WotC has updated creature types a ton. They added human to a bunch of cards after original Mirrodin made human a creature type. And like, literally a few months ago, when Amonkhet added jackals, they errata'ed old cards like Jackal Pup and Dauthi Jackal. There was also the removal of "lord" as a creature type. And those are just some examples off the top of my head. It used to be a lot more common; anytime they reprinted an old card from back in the days before there was any rhyme or reason to creature types, they'd update the typeline to be a bit more logical.

Does anyone know if any of these cards will get new artwork too?
It's not a reprint list. Just an update to their gatherer text.
As far as tournaments or organised play is concerned, the old cards will be treated as if they had dinosaur in their typeline.
Maybe they'll reprint one or two of them or maybe they won't.
So no new artwork for now.
Well, none of them are on the reserved list, so I wouldn't be surprised if some of them would get reprints eventually, particularly some of the oldest ones like Magmasaur and Pygmy Allosaurus.

Well, M:TG is a game where strange hybrids are fairly common, as it is in fantasy in general, but it's a fungus dinosaur. A dinosaur that lives in a symbiotic relation ship with fungus. It's best not to think to hard about it.

I'm not much of a dinosaur buff but I don't see why a mammal can't be a dinosaur. Are all dinosaurs reptiles? Shouldn't all creatures with the subtype "crocodile" be dinosaurs? I mean, how much have alligators/crocodiles really evolved over the last 50 million years? The ones I've seen look like walking fossils.

"Dinosaur" isn't just some catchall term for ancient creatures. It's a specific subset of reptiles. "I don't see why a mammal can't be a dinosaur" is like saying, "I don't see why a fish can't be an elephant". Taxonomy doesn't work that way.

I am sorry, but me explaining to you the differences between the different classifications of animals would take pages of text and neither of us have that much time. So here is a TLDR version: Crocodiles evolved from a common ancestor to the crocodilians, but they separated some 20 to 40 million years before the first dinos roamed the earth. Today the closest thing we have to dinosaurs are birds, because the bird ancestor evolved from a small insectivore dinosaur whose descendants survived the impact that a majority of paleontologists agree killed of the dinos. Mammals evolved from a different group of reptiles that dinosaurs.
I highly suggest you either go to your local library and check out a few books on evolution, dinosaurs, and paleontology, or read the wikipedia pages related to the same. Remember, learning new things help you grow as a human being and to become the best that you can be. Good luck, and have a pleasant tomorrow.

So far we have ONE dinosaur that costs 3 and ONE that costs 4. Everything else is 5+.
The fact that they printed a 2/2 dinobear in the Planeswalker deck is a pretty good sign that they're planning this tribe to include at least the mid-to-lower end of the mana curve. They might not have 1 drops, but they can have 2s.
And today they spoiled a 2-drop and 2 3-drop dinosaurs. So, just as I stated yesterday, the Dinos will be able to do things low-in-the-curve.
Wait, how the blazes is a Fungusaur a dinosaur? It's a giant animated mushroom!
My thoughts exactly. I never understood why the speculation lists had Fungusauar as well.
Its not a dinosaur in any way as I see it. An elemental maybe but not a dinosaur.
I guess just because it ended in -saur?? Ridiculous.

It represents an ancient reptilian creature (a dinosaur if you will) that lives in a symbiotic relationship with a fungus. Also, when in doubt, a wizard did it.

Regarding Dinosaurs not doing anything mechanically relevant, you have to give them some mechanical themes, just like with any tribe. In the Dinosaur set I'm designing, Jurasa, Dinosaurs are split into GWU Domestic and BRG Wild, with the Domestic Dinosaurs getting a Mount mechanic while the Wild Dinosaurs get Devour.
Ixalan's RGW Dinos fall squarely between the two archetypes I laid out, bridging the wild and tame Dinosaurs, using Enrage. Not a bad execution, but I'd still like to see something similar to Jurasa's take sometime.
MTGS Wikia Article about "New World Order"
Every time I read a comment about "Well if this card had card draw/trample/haste/indestructible/hexproof/life gain...", I think "You're missing the point." They're armchair developer comments that fail to take into account the card's role in the greater Limited and Standard environment. No, it may not be as good as whatever card you're comparing it to. There's a reason for that. Not every burn spell is Lightning Bolt, nor does it need to be or should be.
PSA to everyone who keeps forgetting about the Reserved List:
You're on a website dedicated to talking about MtG. You're only a few keystrokes away from finding out what cards are on the Reserved List. You're also only a few keystrokes away from finding out why some cards on the Reserved List got foil printings in FtV, as Judge promos, or whatnot, as well as why that won't happen again. Stop doing this.
Would have loved it if Gahiji, Honored One got it but it was a long shot to begin with due to some of the body parts he has.
Too bad there's no way to contact them That they missed a couple.
Then again they may just reprint the ones not mentioned in "ixalan"/"rivals of ixalan."
Yes, yes, Gnathosaur. I was thinking Fangren Marauder, cuz Scars/MBS limited Dinosaurs, but he's not.
Definitely Gnatho though.
Another thread mentioned Alara beasts are somewhat mammalian, so, Realm Razer may be out, though I agree.
Not sure about Quagnoth, cuz it's Cloverfield, (or his older brother)

Fangren is a type of beast, not a place, and if you look at the other Fangren creatures, you can clearly see that they are not dinosaurs, at all.

That's why I said "but he's not."
The card however, along with Alpha Tyrranax (which is receiving errata), a big part of the Limited archetype, like I also said.
