Early Cretaceous, 97-99 million years old.

Rebbachisaurus—known as the "Aït Rebbach lizard"—was a sauropod dinosaur from the Diplodocoidea superfamily that roamed Africa, and possibly South America, during the Late Cretaceous period around 99 to 97 million years ago. Fossils linked to this daring giant have been uncovered in Morocco, Niger, Algeria, and Tunisia, though only the Moroccan finds can be confidently assigned to the genus. The discovery of Rayososaurus, a South American sauropod nearly indistinguishable from Rebbachisaurus and possibly the same species, challenges previous beliefs by suggesting a lingering land bridge between Africa and South America during the Early Cretaceous, against the odds of continental drift.

In 2010, Gregory S. Paul estimated Rebbachisaurus at 14 meters (46 ft) and 7 metric tons (7.7 short tons). It possessed a small head, a long, graceful neck, and a whiplike tail. Rebbachisaurus is distinguished from other sauropods by its unusually tall, ridged back and the spine or sail that lay atop its back, distinguished by the tall ridges of the preserved dorsal vertebrae of the holotype and other specimens.

Please be aware of the nature of fossils:

Being buried underground for millions of years under immense pressure can be a challenging process. Few fossils come out completely intact and perfect; most need some restoration. Some are even modified by humans to enhance their display. Moroccan workers perform highly professional work excavating and preserving these natural treasures, though it's common to see natural cracks on their surfaces. These cracks are part of the fossil's natural beauty and are not seen as flaws or defects.
