Prettige feite

Chebsaurus is the most complete sauropod dinosaur ever found in Algeria.1

Its name comes from the Arabic word 'cheb', which means 'young man', because the fossils are from a juvenile.1

Chebsaurus lived during the Middle Jurassic period, about 165 to 163 million years ago.1

Scientists have found two skeletons of Chebsaurus, both from young individuals.1

Chebsaurus was nicknamed 'the Giant of Ksour' after the mountains where it was discovered.1
