Gadoufaoua (Touareg for “the place where camels fear to go”) is a site in the
Tenere desert of
Niger known for its extensive
fossil graveyard, where remains of
Sarcosuchus imperator, popularly known as
SuperCroc, have been found (by
Paul Sereno in 1997, for example), including vertebrae, limb bones, armor plates, jaws, and a nearly complete 6-foot (1.8 m) skull.
