This list of sauropod type specimens is a list of fossils serving as the official standard-bearers for inclusion in the species and genera of the dinosaur clade Sauropoda, which includes the long-necked dinosaurs. Type specimens are definitionally members of biological taxa, and additional specimens are only "referred" to these taxa if an expert deems them sufficiently similar.
