Afrovenator
and a giant sauropod
The 1993 expedition returned to the sauropod
graveyard Dr. Sereno discovered on his trip to
Niger in 1990. The team flew from Chicago to London,
loaded their trucks with equipment which had been
shipped from Chicago in massive metal shipping
containers, took the ferry to France and began
driving south. They drove through the south of
France and then traveled by ship across the Mediterranean,
landing in Algeria. The team then drove more than
a thousand miles through Algeria, into the Sahara
Desert and finally into the heart of Niger where
they could finally begin their work
