Bones of the Earth by Michael Swanwick is an expansion of “Scherzo with Tyrannosaur”; it was a Novel finalist in 2003. (It’s currently sitting on my TBR pile so I couldn’t tell you much more than that, but Wikipedia says “most of the novel’s events take place in the age of the dinosaurs” so yeah.)
Nothing else jumps out at me when I look through the Novel list although of course there is plenty there I haven’t read.

Did the Williamson time-travel novel have dinosaurs? I dnfed it, and I don’t remember — and I was up all night, so I’m not awake enough to think of the title!

Or did that even make the shortlist? Gawd, I gotta go get some sleep!!

Just reading Alasdair Stuart’s work for Fan Writer, and he mentions The Black Tides of Heaven by J.T. Yang (shortlisted for Best Novella, 2018) as including dinosaurs. Checking the story, I think he’s referring to Naga, which are described as ‘more raptor than serpent, hollow-boned and warm-blooded’ (and believed to be extinct), which I guess would look pretty dinosaurian.
