Rhabdodontider
Also known as Rhabdodontid, Rhabdodontids
Rhabdodontidae is a family of herbivorous iguanodontian ornithopod dinosaurs whose earliest stem members appeared in the middle of the Lower Cretaceous. The oldest dated fossils of these stem members were found in the Barremian Castrillo de la Reina Formation of Spain, dating to approximately 129.4 to 125.0 million years ago. With their deep skulls and jaws, Rhabdodontids were similar to large, robust iguanodonts. The family was first proposed by David B. Weishampel and colleagues in 2003. Rhabdodontid fossils have been mainly found in Europe in formations dating to the Late Cretaceous.

Rhabdodontider var växtätande ornithopoder (fågelhöftade dinosaurier) från kritaperioden. Fossila lämningar har hittats i det som idag är Europa och eventuellt Australien. Rhabdodontiderna kunde liknas vid stora, robusta med djupa kranier och käkar. Släktet har givit namn till familjen.
