The story in short
In 2003, M. S. Malkani published the name Brohisaurus. The name means “brohi lizard.”
It lived in the Late Jurassic (Kimmeridgian), roughly 154.8 to 149.2 million years ago. Finds come from PK, including the Sembar Formation. It was a herbivore and walked on four legs.
The fossils of Brohisaurus are too incomplete for a responsible length, hip height, or weight, so those fields are left blank on purpose.
On the family tree it sits in Titanosauriformes, among the sauropod dinosaurs.
