Pakisaurus (meaning "Pakistan lizard") is a genus of titanosaurian sauropod from the Late Cretaceous of Balochistan, western Pakistan. The type species is P. balochistani, and it was validly named by M. Sadiq Malkani in 2006, based on four tail vertebrae, found in the Maastrichtian-age Vitakri Member of the Pab Formation. Three additional tail vertebrae have been assigned to it. The author erected the family Pakisauridae, using it synonymously with older Titanosauridae. Pakisaurus was decided to be closely related to Sulaimanisaurus and Khetranisaurus, both from Pakistan as well.[1]
