Abstract

Continental strata of Early and Middle Jurassic age are seldom-exposed, 
and little is known of the history of sauropod dinosaurs prior to the 
neosauropod radiation of the end of the Middle Jurassic. Here, we 
report, in the Middle Jurassic of the Occidental Saharan Atlas (Algerian 
High Atlas), the discovery of a skeleton, including cranial material, of 
a new cetiosaurid sauropod. Chebsaurus algeriensis n. g., n. sp. 
represents the most complete Algerian sauropod available to date, only 
few remains were found before. To cite this article: F. Mahammed et al.,
