Can anyone recommend any good fantasy books that combine steam-punk, magic and dinosaurs?

i'm afraid there would not be any good books that combine steam punk, magic, and dinosaurs. Sounds precisely like a set for a very bad book.

People don't complain about chickens being blockish. Skeleton deformations/ animations are nice, but would they work on an RTS scale?

If nowhere else, there's surely some kind of steampunk magic dinosaur stuff on 4ch.
