I like it. But use present day Earth as the setting. Stargates are getting wee bit played out --look at the ratings over at SciFi.Go with the time-honored lost valley hidden somewhere like Tibet or a  geothermic sanctuary at one of the Poles. If you use Tibet you can set the dino-wrangling against a backdrop of an armed conflict between the Chinese and Tibetan nationalists. That opens up a slew of possibilities; Dalai Lamas, both real and fake and perhaps ghostly, their mysterious connection to the dinosaurs, oily/noble CIA agents maintaining US interests by getting in the  protagonists way, general spook-shpw operatives --say like an Alex Kriechek-- , wily British big-game hunters backed by Barnun and Bailey's corporate money, hell, even some ninja-acrobats out to steal a dinosaur for Cirque de Soliel...Or you could go the Polar route, that way lies frozen cavemen and Amazons showing a lot of skin. Better if you a higher fantasy quotient; the Hollow Earth, ancient crystal-based technologies, that whole spiel...</blockquote>
