Cool discovery!  We're slowly filling in our gaps of Africa's dinosaurian record.

The paper doesn't appear to be open access, though.  And the "free" supplement just takes me back to the abstract...   

[Reptilia]

Nice piece of paleoart there.

I can only access the abstract too, but it's a nice discovery, thanks for sharing.

Oh, sorry guys, I didn't realize I was signed in to the university library. It opened for me, so I assumed it was open access. Apologies.

Nice! Another Sauropod to add to the Sauropod family
