Tendaguria
''Tendaguria'' ( ; meaning "the Tendaguru one") is a genus of herbivorous sauropod dinosaur from the Late Jurassic of Tanzania.
==Discovery and naming==
In 1911, German geologist Wilhelm Bornhardt at Nambango in German East Africa discovered two sauropod vertebrae, fifteen kilometers (nine miles) southeast of Tendaguru Hill. These were described by Werner Janensch in 1929 but not named.〔Janensch, W., 1929, "Material und Formengehalt der Sauropoden in der Ausbeute der Tendaguru-Expedition", ''Palaeontographica (Suppl. 7)'' 2: 1-34〕
The finds were formally named by José Fernando Bonaparte, Wolf-Dieter Heinrich and Rupert Wild in 2000. The type species is ''Tendaguria tanzaniensis'' ( tan-ZAY-nee-EN-sis) Bonaparte, Heinrich & Wild 2000. The generic name refers to the Tendaguru, the area of the great German palaeontological expeditions between 1909 and 1912. The specific name was "after Tanzania, the country where the holotype was collected".〔J.F. Bonaparte, W.-D. Heinrich, and R. Wild, 2000, "Review of ''Janenschia'' Wild, with the description of a new sauropod from the Tendaguru beds of Tanzania and a discussion on the systematic value of procoelous caudal vertebrae in the Sauropoda", ''Palaeontographica Abteilung A'' 256(1-3): 25-76〕 The territory of present Tanzania largely coincides with that of the former German East Africa.
The type specimen consists of two syntypes, MB.R.2092.1 (NB4) and MB.R.2092.2 (NB5), probably uncovered in the Upper Saurian Bed (''Obere Dinosauriermergel''), Tendaguru Series, dating from the Late Jurassic Tithonian. The specimens are two anterior dorsal vertebrae, part of the collection of the Museum fuer Naturkunde, Berlin. They probably belong to the same individual, having been found at a short distance from each other.〔
