It lived around 100 million years ago, during the middle Cretaceous.[1][2] The species, which shared features with another southern African species, Malawisaurus dixeyi, measured {{convert|30|ft|m}} from the head to the tip of the tail,[3] and had forelimbs that were estimated around {{convert|6.5|ft|m}} long. Fossils were found embedded in a cliff face near Lake Rukwa in the Rukwa Valley.[4][5] References1. ^{{cite journal|last1=Gorscak|first1=Eric|last2=O'Connor|first2=Patrick M.|last3=Stevens|first3=Nancy J.|last4=Roberts|first4=Eric M.|title=The basal titanosaurian Rukwatitan bisepultus (Dinosauria, Sauropoda) from the middle Cretaceous Galula Formation, Rukwa Rift Basin, southwestern Tanzania|journal=Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology|date=2014|volume=34|issue=5|pages=1133–1154|doi=10.1080/02724634.2014.845568}} {{Portal bar|Dinosaurs|Cretaceous|Tanzania|Prehistory of Africa}}{{Titanosauria}}{{Taxonbar|from=Q18010327}}{{dinosaur-stub}}2. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.ohio.edu/research/communications/rukwatitan.cfm |title=Ohio University paleontologists discover new species of titanosaurian dinosaur in Tanzania |author=Eric Gorscak |website=Ohio: Research |publisher=Ohio University |accessdate=8 September 2014 }} 3. ^{{cite news |url=http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/09/09/titanosaur-africa-new-dinosaur-species_n_5786216.html |title=New Species Of Massive Dinosaur Discovered In Africa |author=Ryan Grenoble |date=10 September 2014 |newspaper=The Huffington Post |accessdate=11 September 2014 }} 4. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.cbsnews.com/news/new-dinosaur-species-discovered-in-tanzania/ |title=New dinosaur species a rare find in Africa |author=Agata Blaszczak-Boxe/ |date=8 September 2014 |website=CBS News |accessdate=8 September 2014 }} 5. ^{{cite web |url=http://news.discovery.com/animals/dinosaurs/another-massiv-new-dinosaur-found-this-time-in-africa-140908.htm |title=Another Massive New Dinosaur Found, This Time in Africa |author=Jennifer Viegas |date=8 September 2014 |website=Discovery Channel |accessdate=8 September 2014 }} 4 : Lithostrotians|Cretaceous dinosaurs of Africa|Fossils of Tanzania|Fossil taxa described in 2014 |
