Muhammad Sadiq Malkani, also known as M. Sadiq Malkani, is a Pakistani paleontologist, geologist and former director of the Geological Survey of Pakistan.
Career
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 published several papers informally naming multiple theropod and sauropod species from Pakistan.
During the time that he was director of the GSP, he published papers directly through the Geological Survey of Pakistan and ResearchGate.
