List of European dinosaurs

The Tethys Ocean splitting Laurasia from Gondwana.

Dinosaurs evolved partway through the Triassic period of the Mesozoic era, around 230 Ma (million years ago). At that time, the earth had one supercontinental landmass, called Pangaea, of which Europe was a part. So it remained throughout the Triassic. By the start of the Jurassic period, some 30 million years later, the supercontinent began to split into Laurasia and Gondwana. The largest inlet from Panthalassa, the superocean that surrounded Pangaea, was called the Tethys Ocean, and as this inlet cut deeper into the supercontinent, much of Europe was flooded.

By the Cretaceous, from 145 to 66 million years ago, the continents were beginning to approach their present shapes, but not their present positions, and Europe remained tropical. At times, it was a chain of island-microcontinents including Baltica and Iberia.

Europe is relatively rich in fossils from the Jurassic-Cretaceous boundary, and much of what is known about European dinosaurs dates from this time. During the Maastrichtian the end of the Cretaceous dinosaurs were dominating western and Central Europe as the Tremp Formation in Spain dates back to that age. Examples of dinosaurs from Maastrichtian Europe are Struthiosaurus and Canardia.

Torvosaurus 1979 Kimmeridge Clay?, Lourinhã Formation, Ornatenton Formation, Vega Formation? (Middle Jurassic to Late Jurassic, Callovian to Tithonian)  England?
 Germany
 Portugal
 Spain? 		The type species was found in the United States. Several species lived around the world, including in Europe, but T. gurneyi is the only non-North American species to receive a formal name. It represents Europe's largest terrestrial predator[79]
Transylvanosaurus 2022 Pui Beds (Late Cretaceous, Maastrichtian)  Romania Had an unusually wide skull compared to other rhabdodontids
Trimucrodon 1973 Lourinhã Formation (Late Jurassic, Kimmeridgian)  Portugal Possessed wedge-shaped teeth
Tuebingosaurus 2022 Trossingen Formation (Late Triassic, Norian)  Germany Although originally assigned to Plateosaurus, it contains several features that point to a more derived position
Turiasaurus 2006 Villar del Arzobispo Formation (Late Jurassic, Kimmeridgian to Tithonian)  Spain Extremely large despite not being a member of Neosauropoda
Valdosaurus 1977 Weald Clay, Wealden Group, Wessex Formation (Early Cretaceous, Berriasian to Barremian)  England Large and similar to Dryosaurus
Vallibonavenatrix 2019 Arcillas de Morella Formation (Early Cretaceous, Barremian)  Spain One of the most complete spinosaurids known from Iberia
Variraptor 1998 Argiles et Grès à Reptiles Formation (Late Cretaceous, Campanian to Maastrichtian)  France May be closely related to Bambiraptor[63]
Vectaerovenator 2020 Lower Greensand Group (Early Cretaceous, Aptian)  England Only known from four vertebrae but are distinct enough to be classified as their own genus
Vectidromeus 2023 Wessex Formation (Early Cretaceous, Barremian)  England Originally described as a relative of the coeval Hypsilophodon, but a subsequent analysis suggests possible dryosaurid affinities for this genus[80]
Vectipelta 2023 Wessex Formation (Early Cretaceous, Hauterivian to Barremian)  England May have been more closely related to Asian ankylosaurs than to European ones[81]
Vectiraptor 2021 Wessex Formation (Early Cretaceous, Barremian)  England Shares some features with North American dromaeosaurids
Velocipes 1932 Lissauer Breccia (Late Triassic, Norian)  Poland Has been considered a dubious, indeterminate vertebrate[82]
Volgatitan 2018 Unnamed formation (Early Cretaceous, Hauterivian)  Russia Closely related to South American titanosaurs
Vouivria 2017 Calcaires de Clerval (Late Jurassic, Oxfordian)  France The oldest known titanosauriform
Wiehenvenator 2016 Ornatenton Formation (Middle Jurassic, Callovian)  Germany Before its formal description, it had been nicknamed the "Minden Monster"
Xenoposeidon 2007 Wealden Group (Early Cretaceous, Berriasian to Valanginian)  England Only known from a single, very unique vertebra
Yaverlandia 1971 Vectis Formation?, Wessex Formation (Early Cretaceous, Barremian)  England Originally misidentified as a pachycephalosaur because of its thick skull roof
Zalmoxes 2003 Densuş-Ciula Formation, Sânpetru Formation, Sebeş Formation (Late Cretaceous, Maastrichtian)  Romania Two species of contrasting sizes have been named
Zby 2014 Lourinhã Formation (Late Jurassic, Kimmeridgian)  Portugal Originally believed to be a specimen of Turiasaurus
