LOTR could have taken place in a period between the ice age and the extention of dinosaurs.
I found this from a FAQ concerning the gap of time between the fall of Barad-dûr and now.

Quote:
I imagine the gap to be about 6000 years: that is we are now at the end of the Fifth Age, if the Ages were of about the same length as S.A. and T.A. But they have, I think, quickened; and I imagine we are actually at the end of the Sixth Age, or in the Seventh.
