So you believe there's no direct connection between dinosaurs and Lucifer.

In Job 40: 15-18 the tail of Behemoth is compared to a cedar because of its great size, some type of now extinct dinosaur." The "nexus linking dinosaurs and Lucifer" according to the Genesis 1:2-31 account is that at some unrevealed point in eternity following Lucifer's rebellion earth, animals and human beings were created as part of God's plan.
Not at all. I'm simply restating your apparent position that there is no nexus linking dinosaurs and Lucifer.

Kind of like February and October, right?

In Genesis 1, God creates mankind "in his own image." When all hell breaks loose during Lucifer's rebellion,
darkness prevails, oceans freeze and life ends for humans. But then we have the "restoration" in Genesis 2
and the arrival of Adam and Eve and the return of life forms.
Who was that masked man in Genesis 1?
