Extinction has to do with the ability of an organism to adapt to it's environment. Sharks and tortoises lived in water and were evidently not seriously affected by what ever cataclysmic climactic changes that wiped out the dinosaurs. Also, there were dinosaurs that did evolve into bird-like creatures and eventually into birds, so in one sense they are still here too.

because they lived in areas that were protected/easier to live in from whatever wiped the dinosaurs out. although, the earlier forms of our current sharks, tortois, etc. that had ancestors then, are smaller, more compact forms of their prehistoric selfs. in the prehistoric era, they could have had more immunities, organ structures, etc. that have become vestigial. however, there really is no way of telling why they exist still, and were not pushed to existance with the dinosaurs.

Dinosaurs were bigger and therefore more easily hurt by natural causes.
