Message----- Correct me if I am wrong, but I think
Karongasaurus is a misprint, and is actually suppose to be Karongasuchus, a
crocodile illustrated in the picture. Malawisaurus (sp?) is
the sauropod in the picture << Well,
since you asked…you are wrong : ) Malawisuchus is the crocodile I wonder if the
name Karongasaurus was the first name for Malawisaurus? It was found in the Karonga
district, which might be were the name came from. I suppose the people to ask
is either Carr or Jacobs. Genus: Malawisuchus GOMANI, 1997 Etymology: In reference to the country of
