Malawisaurus (meaning "Malawi lizard") was a genus of sauropod dinosaur (specifically a titanosaurian). It lived in what is now Africa, specifically Malawi, during the Aptian age of the Early Cretaceous Period. It is one of the few titanosaurs for which skull material has been found. Relatively small by sauropod standards, Malawisaurus reached lengths of around 16 metres (52 ft). Like some other titanosaurs, ossicles have been found which are believed to represent dermal scutes that covered the skin.
