Rebbachisaurus

The remains from Morocco are those that can be attributed to the genus with the greatest confidence.

The image of Rebbachisaurus relies heavily on a single incomplete skeleton.

Beyond the game

The real Rebbachisaurus

It was a long-necked quadrupedal herbivore. Its reconstruction has important limits because it is known mainly from a single incomplete skeleton found in 1948.

The Moroccan remains can be assigned to this genus with the greatest confidence; other proposed records are less certain. A finished illustration does not make the missing parts of its body known.

This grouping describes evolutionary relationships. Its members share ancestors; they do not form a chain in which one must turn into another.
