"Jobaria" is a sauropod (long-necked) dinosaur discovered in the Sahara Desert in 1997 by Dr. Paul Sereno of the University of Chicago. It was named “Jobar,” a creature of local legends, is 65 feet tall (non-rearing) and probably weighed close to 20 tons. It is likely that, similar to other sauropods, Jobaria would have traveled in small herds or family groups.
Jobaria was found in the Tiouraren Formation, originally thought to represent the Hauterivian to Barremian stages of the early Cretaceous Period, or approximately 136 to 125 million years ago.
The Jobaria is mounted here (NON HDR IMAGE) in a rearing position—total height about 35 feet tall.
