扎赫里龙属

扎赫里龙属名:"Zahrisaurus")是蛇颈龙目的一个已灭绝,来自晚侏罗世巴基斯坦[1][2]该属由穆罕默德·萨迪克·马尔卡尼(Muhammod Sadiq Malkani)于2019年首次命名,模式种基尔穆拉扎赫里龙("Zahrisaurus kilmoolai")。属名取自分布于化石发现地一带的扎赫里部落(Zahri tribe)及希腊语saurus(蜥蜴)。种名分别取自发现化石的基尔地区(Kil Locality)及流经此地的穆拉河(Moola River)。正模标本GSP/MSM-99-K由破碎的颅后骨骼组成,发现于俾路支省胡兹达尔镇穆拉河地区的乔托克地(Chotok locality),所属层段可能为晚侏罗世苏莱曼群(Sulaiman Group)的契尔坦石灰岩组(Chiltan Limestone),现保存于奎达市的巴基斯坦地质调查局博物馆(Museum of Geological Survey of Pakistan)。[1][3]由于已知材料过于零碎,因此该属一般被视为疑名;且论文发表于掠夺性期刊上导致有效性存疑,故可能也是一个裸名
