#Sauropods are the most awe-inspiring of #dinosaurs, #evolving into the largest land #animals of all time. One of the most important #fossils for understanding #sauropod origins comes from Lake #Kariba on the #Zimbabwe/#Zambia border (the #bones come from the Zimbabwe side of the lake). The early sauropod found there was named Vulcanodon karibaenesis and it's a rare window into the early #Jurassic world of the oldest sauropods.
