oldest sauropod found

Hi all,

just read a short article in the teletext about a new find of dinosaur in South 
Africa. Maybe you already know the news, in case that not here are some 
informations about that find:

Its name is Antentonitrus ingenipes. The remains were originally found in the 
year 1981, but now rediscovered in the archives of the University of 
Johannesburg/South Africa. The species seems to be the oldest sauropod ever 
found(!) with an age of about 215 Mio. years. The estimated length of 
Antentonitrus ingenipus is about 10 meters.
