Early Cretaceous, 97-99 million years old.

Rebbachisaurus, meaning "Aït Rebbach lizard," is a remarkable genus of sauropod dinosaurs from the Diplodocoidea superfamily that roamed Africa and possibly South America around 99 to 97 million years ago during the Late Cretaceous period. Fossils attributed to this genus have been discovered in Morocco, Niger, Algeria, and Tunisia, with Moroccan finds being the most definitive. The striking similarity to the South American Rayososaurus suggests these continents were still connected in the Early Cretaceous, offering a fascinating glimpse into prehistoric geography. This fossil is a valuable piece for any collector interested in Earth’s ancient past.

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 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.
