The Giving of December. Sulaimanisaurus

Sulaimanisaurus was described by M.‭ ‬Sadiq Malkani in‭ ‬2006‭ ‬from seven caudal‭ (‬tail‭)‬ vertebrae,‭ ‬with a further four attributed to the genus.‭ ‬Sulaimanisaurus was then classed into the Pakisauridae,‭ ‬created by Malkani,‭ ‬along with Khetranisaurus and Pakisaurus‭ (‬the latter being the type genus‭)‬,‭ ‬two more titanosaurs described by Malkani only from caudal vertebrae.‭ ‬Two other titanosaurs described by Malkani in‭ ‬2006‭ ‬are Balochisaurus and Marisaurus,‭ ‬though both of these titanosaurs have had further remains attributed to them.‭ ‬The same year Malkani also named the abelisaurid theropod Vitakridrinda.
