The
Tendaguru Beds are a fossil-rich
formation in
Tanzania. It has been considered the richest of
Late Jurassic strata in
Africa. Continental reconstructions show Tendaguru to have been in the southern hemisphere during the Late Jurassic. Tendaguru is similar to the
Morrison Formation of the United States except in its Marine Interbeds. The dinosaur life found there is similar to that of the Morrison, with the presence of dinosaurs with similar counterparts, e.g.,
Brachiosaurus and
Stegosaurus in the Morrison, and
Giraffatitan and
Kentrosaurus in the Tendaguru.
