Tendaguru

 
Tendaguru is a remote geological site located northwest of Lindi. The site is considered one of the greatest palaeontological finds in history dating from the Late Jurassic period. A German mining engineer uncovered fossil remains in 1907 while prospecting in the region. More than a dozen different dinosaur species were discovered including the Brachiosaurus, the largest known dinosaur in the world, between 1909 and 1913.

Many bones still remain and fragments can be seen at previous dig sites.

The Natural History museums in London and Berlin have complete dinosaur skeletons from Tendaguru.
