Other paleontologists have published fiction on lost worlds inhabited  
by dinosaurs:

besides George Gaylord Simpson's well-known, posthumous short story,  
the late Canadian fossil track specialist William A. S. Sarjeant  
published several novels about lost worlds of living dinos, under the  
name "Anthony Swithin" (his middle names). Sarjeant also published  
articles on geology in fiction, such as Arthur Conan Doyle and Tolkien.

The Russian paleontologist Ivan A. Efremov, who discovered  
Tarbosaurus bataar in the the Gobi in the 1940s, wrote a sci-fi novel  
called "Shadow of the Past" (1953), featuring fossil hunters who find  
a cave wall covered in resin that had acted as a natural photographic  
film, capturing images of the living Tarbosaurus.

and of course, don't forget the Turok, Son of Stone comics, about  
Plains Indians trapped in a lost valley of dinosaurs, in the 1950s-60s

  I suppose I shouldn't be surprised though, seeing as so many of us  
love the same things.   You know, like those lost worlds inhabbited  
by dinosaurs ?
