Tazoudasaurus is a genus of gravisaurian, probably a vulcanodontid sauropod dinosaurs hailing from the late Early Jurassic (Toarcian), that was recovered in the "Toundoute Continental Series" (Azilal Formation) located in the High Atlas Mountains of Morocco in North Africa. Along with Patagosaurus, Volkheimeria, Bagualia and Perijasaurus (as well maybe Barapasaurus and Kotasaurus) represents one of the few sauropods named from this stage on Gondwana, as well as the only one from Africa.[2][3]
