Karongasaurus (meaning "Karonga District" lizard) is a genus of titanosaur sauropod dinosaur from the Early Cretaceous. The holotype fossils, consisting solely of part of a lower mandible and a few teeth, were found in the Dinosaur Beds of Malawi. The type species, K. gittelmani, was described by Elizabeth Gomani in 2005.[1]
Karongasaurus is the first dinosaur discovery published solely online.[1]
