The Echo Caves in Limpopo, South Africa, are set in Precambrian dolomite rock, which was first laid down about 3800 million years ago, when Africa was still part of Gondwana. The caves are considered some of the oldest in the world. The Echo Caves are situated on the farm Klipfonteingrot, [1] some 92 km north of the similar Sudwala Caves.
Estimates from the existing fossil material measure this dinosaur at about 12.2 m (40 ft) in length and 7 t (7.7 short tons) in weight. [13] With such parameters it was the largest of the non-sauropod ("prosauropod") sauropodomorphs. [13] Its bones are robust and it had a graviportal limb arrangement, a key character trait of basal sauropodomorphs.
Subsequent to its publication, All Yesterdays has proven influential on the modern culture of palaeoart.
