Khetranisaurus (meaning "Khetran lizard", for the Khetran people of Pakistan ) is a genus of titanosaurian sauropod from the Late Cretaceous of Balochistan, western Pakistan (also spelled "Khateranisaurus" in some early reports).[1] The type species is K. barkhani, described by M. Sadiq Malkani in 2006, and it is based on a tail vertebra, found in the Maastrichtian-age Vitakri Member of the Pab Formation. It was assigned to Pakisauridae (used as a synonym of Titanosauridae), along with Pakisaurus and Sulaimanisaurus.[2]
