This is a '''list of [[dinosaur]]s''' 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 ''[[Megapnosaurus|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|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.
