Thicknose. He's said to be the oldest of the Great Valley and (to me) he appears to be even older than the Old One. Of course there's Doc too but he doesn't look that old to me... Don't believe the Lone Dinosaur story anyway...

I'm not sure to be honest. It's hard to tell. There's a number of old characters. Another candidate is Swooper, a blind flyer that Petrie and Guido runs into in the TV series. He looked rather old as well.

I'd have to say Mr. Thicknose and this is why: his species - the Pachyrhinosaurus - are actually the predecessors of the Triceratops (which appeared approximately at the moment of the thinknoses' extinction!). And yeah, I know that the LBT is kinda messed up when it comes to timescale (for instance - Apatosaurus, Littlefoot's people predate both aforementioned species by almost a 100 million years), but somehow this allegory seems logical as far as a TV show for kids goes. :)
