The type species is B. malkani. The discovery was made (along with other dinosaur specimens) near Vitariki by a team of paleontologists from the Geological Survey of Pakistan.[1] Formally described in 2006 by M.S. Malkani, the genus is based on seven tail vertebrae found in the Maastrichtian-age Vitakri Member of the Pab Formation, with additional vertebrae and a partial skull assigned to it. Balochisaurus was assigned to the family Balochisauridae along with Marisaurus, although the family was used as a synonym of older Saltasauridae.[2] References1. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.dawn.com/weekly/science/archive/060325/science5.htm |title=Country’s first dinosaur fossils |accessdate=2007-07-29 |last=Rana |first=A.N. |date=2006-03-25 |publisher=DAWN |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20070621133347/http://www.dawn.com/weekly/science/archive/060325/science5.htm |archivedate = 2007-06-21}} 2. ^{{cite journal|last=Malkani |first=M.S. |year=2006 |title=Biodiversity of saurischian dinosaurs from the Latest Cretaceous Park of Pakistan |journal=Journal of Applied and Emerging Sciences |volume=1 |issue=3 |pages=108–140 |url=http://www.gsp.gov.pk/Malkani%202006b.pdf |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://www.webcitation.org/5hjMtRzjs?url=http://www.gsp.gov.pk/Malkani%202006b.pdf |archivedate=2009-06-22 }} External links
