Résumé / Abstract

A synthesis on the state of art on dinosaur knowledge in Portugal is presented. The following genera have been recognized: Ceratosaurus, Torvosaurus, Lourinhanosaurus, Allosaurus, cf. Compsognathus, Stokesosaurus, cf. Richardoestesia, cf. Archaeopteryx, Euronychodon. cf. Paronychodon, Dinheirosaurus, Laurinhasaurus Lusotitan, cf. Pleurocoelus, Lusitanosaurus, Dacentrurus, Dracopelta, Phyllodon, Hypsilophodon, Alocodon, Trimucrodon. Draconyx, Iguanodon, and Taveirosaurus. Most are from Late Jurassic localities at the Lourinha area and Guimarota. A new genus, Lusotitan, is here raised to include the Late Jurassic 'Brachiosattrus'atalaiensis. Lower Cretaceous until Cenomanian material is scarce, except for dinosaur footprints. An interesting Late-Cretaceous, mostly small dinosaur association has been collected between Aveiro and Taveiro.
