Chebsaurus

Chebsaurus is a genus of sauropod dinosaur, specifically a eusauropod.

It lived in present-day Algeria, in the Callovian aged Aïssa Formation.

The type species, C. algeriensis, was named in 2005 by Mahammed et al. and is the most complete Algerian sauropod known.

[1] The word "Cheb" "شاب" is colloquial Arabic for "young man", as the fossils found were believed to be from a juvenile.

The original publication, by Mahammed et al., gives Chebsaurus the nickname "the Giant of Ksour".
