Multiple adults and a juvenile skeleton of this primitive, herbivorous, long-necked dinosaur were discovered in a mass-death site in the Sahara. With more than 95% of its skeleton preserved, Jobaria is the most complete long-necked dinosaur ever discovered from the Cretaceous period. The name Jobaria is a reference to the legends of Niger’s Touareg nomads; tiguidensis refers to a cliff near the excavation site.
