Rebbachisaurus garasbae, R. tamesnensis

Name: Rebbachisaurus garasbae, R. tamesnensis
Name Meaning: Rebbach Lizard
First Described: 1954
Described By: Lavocat
Classification: Dinosauria, Saurischia, Eusaurischia, Sauropodomorpha, Plateosauria, Massopoda, Sauropodiformes, Anchisauria, Sauropoda, Gravisauria, Eusauropoda, Neosauropoda, Diplodocoidea, Diplodocimorpha, Rebbachisauridae, Limaysaurinae
Rebbachisaurus was a Diplodocoid sauropod that lent its name to the entire group, which is fairly amusing, as not much more is known about this one than the other members of its group. It had an unusually tall, ridged back, lending a very distinctive appearance to the genus. It was about 20 meters long, and a little over 5 meters tall at the large part of the spines on its back. It was found in the Aoufous Formation of Morocco, Africa, very far away from Rayososaurus, its close cousin, suggesting that a land bridge between Africa and South America may have still existed in the Early Cretaceous. Specifically, it lived in the Cenomanian age for the Early Cretaceous, about 99 million years ago.
