Pakisaurusとは 意味・読み方・使い方

Pakisaurus (meaning "Pakistan lizard") is a genus of titanosaurian sauropod from the Late Cretaceous of Balochistan, western Pakistan. The type species is P. balochistani, described by M. Sadiq Malkani in 2006, and it is based on four tail vertebrae, found in the Maastrichtian-age Vitakri Member of the Pab Formation. Three additional tail verterbrae have been assigned to it. The author erected the family-level name Pakisauridae for Pakisaurus, but it remains to be seen if this family will receive widespread acceptance.
