Would Primeval Thule fit anywhere in Golarion?
Or, is there an area of Golarion that is similar to Primeval Thule?

Without reading too far into it parts of Sargava and the underground Caverns feature terrain similar to the press pics of Primeval Thule. I would say the 'land of the lost' like underground caverns would be the best bet, as they havn't been fleshed out as much. Sargava has a player's companion and a novel set there.
The demigods part mentioned in their homepage makes me a little leary, as Golarion has a very specific cosmology and ladder of Devine beings....

I think some of the other planets might be Primeval Thulish. Or maybe some of the undocumented continents....

Thank you both, Cpt_kirstov and SmiloDan.
I hadn't thought of an underground cavern 'land of the lost' as a place to put it, but that could work.
The cosmology isn't really compatible with Golarion's, as far as I can see, but I'm not really all that knowledgeable or Golarion's pantheons.
Other planets are an idea as are undocumented continents.
I just recently found out about Primeval Thule and I really like the idea of it as a setting. It's bronze age. I think most of Golarion is in a much later era as there are gunslingers and stirrups (no stirrups in Primeval Thule).
Hmmm.... I shall have to think on it a little further, but even if the two settings are on different planets or on alternate worlds from one another, I think it might be neat to have some characters from one occasionally cross over into the other.

Thule is a fantasy past of Earth (it's Greenland seen with west at the top of the map, and mostly ice-free), so maybe some time- and galaxy-crossing adventures?

Yes, exactly.
I remember the descriptions of one of the Pathfinder Adventure Paths taking the characters to Earth during a World War to fight Rasputin because Rasputin Must Die!
And, with Red Sonja meeting up with the iconics for the Worldscape, why not a Primeval Thule meets Golarion crossover?

The part of the Realms of the Mammoth Lords where megafauna come from (the Earthnavel?) feels kind of Thule-ish, in the 'lost prehistoric lands hidden in the far north' sort of way, to me.
Thank you. I'll have a look at that.

Sasquatch Games put out a very good setting with Primeval Thule. I've run several games in it and the players really enjoyed it. I didn't try to fit it into Golarion but it fits well with my own world, which is semi-historical, set shortly before the Roman conquest of Britain (and a few other periods depending on the campaign, currently in Ancient Egypt running a heavily modified Mummy's Mask).
I like the ideas mentioned by SmiloDan and Evil Midnight Lurker. It could easily fit onto another planet in the same universe as Golarion or be a far, far past alternate version of the world. So many options!
Good luck with it!

Yes, Sasquatch did a wonderful job on it.
I'm not sure which world I'll set it in. Probably will be it's own world as described in the book with the possibility to travel to and from other worlds, dimensions, or alternate realities.
You can also replace Sarusan since there is little to nothing written on it and is about the same size.
Deep Tolguth, in Orv, the Darklands, was directly inspired by the same literature that inspired Primeval Thule.
Thank you, every one.
