Rebbachisaurus

† Rebbachisaurus was a sauropod dinosaur from Morocco. A herbivore dinosaur of the Early Cretaceous, it inhabited the terrestrial ecosystems of this region. Fossil material documents its morphology and provides data on Mesozoic faunal diversity.

Diet & Feeding

Herbivore

Rebbachisaurus was a plant-eating dinosaur. Herbivores typically fed on ferns, cycads, conifers, and other vegetation available during their era. Many herbivorous dinosaurs developed specialized teeth and digestive systems for processing tough plant material.

Time Period

Cretaceous Early Mesozoic Era

Rebbachisaurus lived during the Cretaceous Early period of the Mesozoic Era, approximately 145,0 to 100,5 million years ago.

The Cretaceous saw continued dinosaur evolution with the rise of ornithopods and early ceratopsians. Flowering plants first appeared and began to transform terrestrial ecosystems. Spinosaurus and other large theropods lived during this time.
