I actually like this idea, and I wish it would be done more often.However, I have to say that you have to be -very- careful about doing this, since you want to make sue the Dinosaurs are in the right areas they'd be in, (A Desert Dino Being found in the Jungle is a pet-peeve of mine), and you either want to have it be like this: Dinosaurs are VERY well known and are used like livestock, (Obviously you'd need small ones for that...) Or they are in areas untouched by the rest of the world. Ancient valleys, craters, plateaus, islands, mesas... Things that are hard, if not impossible, for people to get to.

In a world of mine (Well, actually my brother and I both collaborate on it), there are dinosaurs in areas where there are next to no humans, if any at all. The reason being because most of them have gone extinct for other reasons. One of which being nuclear warheads (Yes, in a fantasy setting. But that's a different story), and many of the ones left behind were hunted down as they were seen as a threat.

Dinos in a fantasy setting are welcome in my book, though dinos are welcome in nearly every setting in my book. HOWEVER, whenever you use dinos, you should do your research. Not just what you saw in Jurrassic Park.

Of course. Media tends to portray prehistoric creatures as much more ferocious than they probably were (Although, who knows? They were still probably pretty kick ass). Also, there are still a ton of shadowy areas on dinosaur behavior, appearance, etc. As a result, it's easy to free lance on a lot of things when they're in a fantasy world, which can be fun. For example, it's been supposed that dinosaurs never stop growing, only slow at age. If that's the case, you could allow the dinosaurs in whatever-land to live for hundreds of years, thus becoming utterly gargantuan.

An interesting picture of a dinosaur in a fantasy setting:
