Has anyone mentioned the Jobaria/Nigersaurus beds in Niger?  I believe that a 
few well articulated sauropod individuals dominated this bed, along with a 
bunch of isolated bone from sauropods.  Of course, this area is not extremely 
large, and nothing like Horner's site of 10,000 hadrosaur individuals!
