This story is a sequel to MLP/LBT: The Stomping Grounds
Sixty Five Million BCE , amongst heavy volcanic activity, an asteroid crashed into the Yucatan Peninsula, wiping out the worlds dinosaur population.
Except two Dakotaraptors. The impact of the asteroid also triggered a magical well that trapped the beasts in a state of suspended animation. Over the years, the magic changed their DNA, allowing them to change their forms at will.
Upon awakening, they found themselves in a world dominated by mammals, especially humans. Seeing this as a disgrace, the male Dakotaraptor, going by the identity Victor Veloci, vowed to rid the world of humans by any means, even changing the global climate. The female, believing that brute force gave way to harmony, left Veloci, going under the identity Joanne Moynihan.
After over two decades of foiling Veloci's plans, the Dino Squad has grown up and split up for their own college. Since then, there hasn't been as much as a blip on Veloci's radar.
Until now...

The backstory shown in the first episode was a little tricky to adapt as well into the long description here.
What is this a crossover of?

Dino Squad
From the same company that brought us Horseland, it has five high school students contaminated by primordial ooze, giving them the ability to transform into dinosaurs. With their powers, they set out to stop unnatural anomalies, while also keeping out of Veloci's reach.
Like Horseland, each episode would end in a moral, in this case how we are at the top of the trophic level and suffer for it due to the pollution from the food we eat.
You can watch at least season 1 on Netflix or Youtube.
It has quite a bit of a following, but never before has there been a crossover with MLP related material. At least two deviant artists I know made fan art that crosses over with other dinosaur related media. Heck, if you search the transformation sequence on Youtube, you'll find an audio remake.
