A reptile is in no way a mammal. A reptile is a vertebrate, but it is completely different from a mammal. It doesn't have hair, it is an ectotherm, and it doesn't feed its young with milk. A mammal has hair at some point in its life, is an endotherm, and feeds it's young with milk.

Did mammals appear in the fossil record before dinosaurs or after?
Mammals actually first came into existence about 220 million years ago, which is about 155 million years before the dinosaurs went extinct, and only about 10 million years after they themselves first evolved. So mammals actually lived alongside the dinosaurs, though played a much smaller role.

Did early mammals cause the extinction of dinosaurs?
No. By the time the dinosaurs went extinct mammals still played a relatively minor role ecologically. It is generally accepted that an asteroid or comet struck the earth, causing ecosystems to collapse worldwide and resulting the extinction of many groups of animals including the dinosaurs.
Were all dinosaurs reptiles?
No way! There were thousands of species of reptiles that lived both during, before, and after the dinosaurs lived on earth. There were the synapsid reptiles, as well as the anapsid reptiles, which were mostly gone when the dinosaurs arrived. There were also many diapsid reptiles that lived during the time the dinosaurs did. Such species include deinosuchus, dimetrodon, gorgonops, Quetzalcoatlus, and rutiodon. Dinosaurs were not reptiles themelves. They evolved from reptiles, many had warm blood even feathers,

Why aren't dinosaurs mammals?
Dinosaurs and mammals evolved from two separate branches of reptiles. Mammals evolved from synapisid reptiles (all of which are not extinct) while dinosaurs along with the modern branches of reptiles evolved from sauropsids. So dinosaurs are more closely related to modern reptiles than they are to mammals. In more recent years scientist tend to agree that birds are in fact a surviving branch of dinosaurs.
