''Chebsaurus'' is a genus of quadrupedal, herbivorous, cetiosaurid sauropod dinosaur, specifically a eusauropod. It lived in present-day Algeria, in the Middle Jurassic Period. The type species, ''C. algeriensis'', was named in 2005 by Farida Mahammed and is the most complete Algerian sauropod known. It was around 8 to 9 meters long. 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". The skeleton, including cranial material, was found in the Occidental Saharan Atlas (Algerian High Atlas). ==References== *(Original paper ), in English and French *(Abstract of paper ) *('Les dinos' web site ) (in French) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Chebsaurus」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
