Rebbachisaurus (re-bash-i-sore-us)(meaning "Ait Rebbach lizard”) is a genus of sauropod dinosaur of the superfamily Diplodocoidea, that lived during the Late Cretaceous period in Africa and possibly also South America about 99-97 million years ago. 


Remains attributed to Rebbachisaurus have been found in Morocco, Niger, Algeria and Tunisia.


  

It possessed a small head, a long, graceful neck and a whiplike tail. Rebbachisaurus is distinguished from other sauropods by its unusually tall, ridged back and the spine or sail that lay atop its back, distinguished by the tall ridges of the preserved dorsal vertebrae of the holotype and other specimens.


The size of Rebbachisaurus has gone through various estimations with a possible length of 14m (46ft) to 20m (66ft) with further study suggesting an estimate of an about 26 meters (85.3ft) in length.
