List of African dinosaurs : ウィキペディア英語版 | List of African dinosaurs This is a list of dinosaurs whose remains have been recovered from Africa. Africa has a rich fossil record, but it is patchy and incomplete. It is rich in Triassic and Early Jurassic dinosaurs. African dinosaurs from these time periods include ''Syntarsus'', ''Dracovenator'', ''Melanorosaurus'', ''Massospondylus'', ''Euskelosaurus'', ''Heterodontosaurus'', ''Abrictosaurus'', and ''Lesothosaurus''. The Middle Jurassic is poorly represented in Africa. Only the sauropod ''Cetiosaurus'' has been discovered dating from this time period. The Late Jurassic, however, is well represented in Africa, mainly thanks to the spectacular Tendaguru Formation. ''Allosaurus'', ''Ceratosaurus'', ''Elaphrosaurus'', ''Giraffatitan'', ''Dicraeosaurus'', ''Janenschia'', ''Tornieria'', ''Tendaguria'', ''Kentrosaurus'', and ''Dryosaurus'' are among the dinosaurs whose remains have been recovered from Tendaguru. This fauna seems to show strong similarities to that of the Morrison Formation in the United States and the Lourinha Formation in Portugal. For example, ''Allosaurus'', ''Ceratosaurus'', and ''Dryosaurus'' have been found in both the Tendaguru and the Morrison. This has important biogeographical implications. The Early Cretaceous in Africa is known primarily from the northern part of the continent, particularly Niger. ''Suchomimus'', ''Elrhazosaurus'', ''Spinostropheus'', ''Rebbachisaurus'', ''Nigersaurus'', ''Kryptops'', ''Nqwebasaurus'', and ''Paranthodon'' are some of the Early Cretaceous dinosaurs known from Africa. The Early Cretaceous was an important time for the dinosaurs of Africa because it was when Africa finally separated from South America, forming the South Atlantic Ocean. This was an important event because now the dinosaurs of Africa started developing endemism because of isolation. The Late Cretaceous of Africa is known mainly from North Africa. During the early part of the Late Cretaceous, North Africa was home to a rich dinosaur fauna. It includes ''Spinosaurus'', ''Carcharodontosaurus'', ''Rugops'', ''Bahariasaurus'', ''Deltadromeus'', ''Paralititan'', ''Aegyptosaurus'', and ''Ouranosaurus''. ==List of African dinosaurs==
