Rebbachisauridae

(Bonaparte 1997)

Les Rebbachisauridae forment une famille fossile de dinosaures sauropodes néosauropodes ayant vécu entre le milieu du Crétacé inférieur (Hauterivien) et le milieu du Crétacé supérieur (Coniacien), soit il y a environ entre 133 et 86 Ma, dans ce qui est actuellement l'Europe, l'Afrique et l'Amérique du Sud.
