If you've seen the Dinosauria Animated series on YouTube, particularly the Making Of videos released alongside them, you might be aware that the series developed out of an idea the creator had for a video or series of videos to be called "All Days". That one would have featured a post-apocalyptic story set in the aftermath of an unspecified anomaly that caused all of Earth's history to come crashing together. The result is that the map is now a patchwork of modern ruins and prehistoric wilderness, and the original story would have featured a father saving his daughter from a tyrannosaur by luring a herd of mammoths to the scene.

I think it would make a good campaign setting.
This is, basically, Sidewise in Time by Murray Leinster, with a healthy dollop of, Xenozoic Tales, by Mark Schultz, for good measure. :)

Not that this is a bad thing, by any stretch.
Who doesn't like, "Cadillacs and Dinosaurs"?
