AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Scientific Name:
Rebbachisaurus garasbae

Location:
Kem Kem Valley, Morocco

Stage:
Late Cretaceous

Size:
Approximately 18–19 cm

Fossil Description:
A large-sized tail vertebra belonging to the gigantic sauropod Rebbachisaurus garasbae, one of the most imposing herbivores of the African Cretaceous. This type of vertebra, especially from the tail region, is extremely rare, as sauropod remains from the Kem Kem tend to appear highly fragmented due to the intense predation they suffered from large carnivores such as Carcharodontosaurus.
The specimen is presented in a completely natural state, with a very well-defined morphology, solid volume, and a bone structure that preserves exceptional details for its size. Its rarity is notable: complete or nearly complete caudal vertebrae of Rebbachisaurus are virtually non-existent on the market, making this specimen a unique piece of enormous value for advanced collectors or museum display cabinets.
Its size, between 18 and 19 cm, places it among the largest and best-preserved known examples of this sauropod in the fossil trade.
