Abstract

Key-word: Thalassemydidae - Late Jurassic - Paleobiogeography. The presence of Craspedochelys (PIesiochelys s.l.) at Romão, Portugal, indicates that, in that country, the Thalassemydid dispersal began with the first occurrences of the group in Europe, in the late Kimmeridgian; communications existed between septentrional, atlantic and mesogean seas. The review of the family is considered.
