Tendaguru

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 except in its Marine Interbeds. The dinosaur life is also similar to that of the Morrison, with the presence of "Brachiosaurus" and "Dryosaurus" in both formations, and other dinosaurs with similar counterparts.
