Prettige feite

1

Khetranisaurus was a titanosaur, a type of sauropod dinosaur with a very long neck and a small head.1

3

The name Khetranisaurus honors the Khetran tribe, a local tribe living in the Koh Sulaiman area of Pakistan.1

4

Khetranisaurus had a unique feature in its tail bones (caudals): the top of the bone was narrower than the bottom, which is different from many other titanosaurs.1

5

Only one species of Khetranisaurus is known, called Khetranisaurus barkhani.51

6

The first fossils of Khetranisaurus were reported in 2004 by scientist M. S. Malkani, but the dinosaur was formally described and named in 2021.51
