I have a setting in mind but I kind of wrote myself into a corner without a major conflict in mind. The story here is a world not unlike our own but in place of its usual wildlife are various fictional species of dinosaurs.

Now keep in mind not all of the wildlife is a dinosaur species, some are more contemporary such as big cats, birds, snakes, you get the idea. I am also adding several fantasy creatures to the mix like wyverns, true dragons, a winged octopi, etc.

Some other important details include this being a time before firearms were invented and there are different species of humans located in different regions.

So what do you need?

As usual, I’m going to suggest you work from the opposite direction.

That setting could be host to literally any number of stories, from a daring tale of wilderness survival to prehistoric geopolitics. Develop your story first, then work on worldbuilding with that story in mind. A few key worldbuilding aspects might shape the story ahead of time, but coming up with a setting completely devoid of story is more for role playing games than literature.
