Muhammad Sadiq Malkani, also known as M. Sadiq Malkani, is a Pakistani paleontologist, geologist and former director of the Geological Survey of Pakistan.

Career

Malkani discovered the first known sauropod remains found in Pakistan in 2000, and beginning in 2001, Malkani excavated fossils that he would later study from the Vitakri Formation of Pakistan. He named several species, including Pabwehshi pakistanensis in 2001, Brohisaurus kirthari in 2003, and Induszalim bala in 2006.

Sometime in 2006, Malkani began to publish his papers naming multiple theropod and sauropod species from Pakistan, and during the time that he was director of the GSP, he published papers directly through the Geological Survey of Pakistan and ResearchGate.

He also studied dinosaur footprints on two occasions. He studied the Mianwali trackway in 2006–7 before it was partially destroyed by coal mining and road construction, and in 2012, he became the first to study the Zhob dinosaur trackway and determined that the footprints were left by theropods and sauropods.
