Early Cretaceous, 97-99 million years old.

Rebbachisaurus, meaning "Aït Rebbach lizard," is a sauropod dinosaur genus within the Diplodocoidea superfamily that existed during the Late Cretaceous period, approximately 99 to 97 million years ago, in Africa and possibly South America. Fossils attributed to this genus have been discovered in Morocco, Niger, Algeria, and Tunisia, with Moroccan finds being definitively classified as Rebbachisaurus. The identification of Rayososaurus, a similar sauropod from South America that might be the same species, supports the idea of a land connection between Africa and South America during the Early Cretaceous, later than previously believed. In 2010, Gregory S. Paul estimated its size at 14 meters (46 feet) long and 7 metric tons (7.7 short tons) in weight. This dinosaur featured a small head, a long, slender neck, and a whip-like tail. It is unique among sauropods for its tall, ridged back and the distinctive spine or sail formed by the high ridges of 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.
