First record of an Upper Cretaceous sauropod dinosaur from Zululand, South Africa.

Abstract

During recent (September, 1985) fieldwork in Zululand, South Africa, by Kennedy and Klinger, parts of two sauropod dinosaur vertebrae were found in marine strata, associated with identifiable invertebrate faunas. The vertebrae were identified by Mateer as probably belonging to the sauropod family Titanosauridae, and represent the first record of the family, and only the second record of Late Cretaceous sauropod dinosaur remains from Africa. -from Author
