Early Cretaceous, 97-99 million years old.

Rebbachisaurus, meaning "Aït Rebbach lizard," is a genus of sauropod dinosaur from the Diplodocoidea superfamily that lived in Africa—and possibly South America—during the Late Cretaceous period, around 99 to 97 million years ago. Fossils linked to Rebbachisaurus have been discovered in Morocco, Niger, Algeria, and Tunisia, with only the Moroccan examples confidently attributed to this genus. The finding of Rayososaurus in South America, a very similar sauropod that might be the same species, supports the idea that Africa and South America remained connected during the Early Cretaceous. In 2010, it was estimated to measure about 14 meters (46 feet) long and weigh approximately 7 metric tons. This dinosaur had a small head, a long neck, a whip-like tail, and a distinctive, tall, ridged back featuring a sail-like structure formed by its dorsal vertebrae.

Please be aware of the nature of fossils:

Being buried under the ground for millions of years under tons of pressure tends to be rough. No fossil comes out of the ground whole and perfect. Most fossils have undergone some restoration, while others are altered by man simply to enhance their presentation in different ways. The workers in Morocco do a very professional job of unearthing and preserving these natural treasures; however, commonly, natural cracks are visible on the surface. These are part of the natural beauty of the fossil and are not considered defects.
