Musango is an extinct genus of unaysaurid sauropodomorph dinosaurs from the Late Triassic (Norian) Pebbly Arkose Formation of Zimbabwe. The genus contains a single species, Musango matusadonaensis, known from a partial skeleton. Musango represents the fifth dinosaur genus to be named from Zimbabwe.[1]
Discovery and naming
The Musango holotype specimen consists of five dorsal (trunk) vertebrae, at least two sacral (hip) vertebrae, at least 15 caudal vertebrae, dorsal rib fragments, gastralia, three partial chevrons, a left scapula and coracoid (shoulder blade), an incomplete left humerus (forearm bone), a manual ungual (hand claw), a partial left ilium, a right pubis (hip bones), a partial right tibia and fibula (lower leg bones), the left astragalus and calcaneum (ankle bones), a left metatarsal, one pedal phalanx (toe bones), and various indeterminate bone fragments. It was discovered in March 2018 on the margin of Lake Kariba by a South African/Zimbabwean-led expedition, and is permanently accessioned in the Natural History Museum of Zimbabwe in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe, under the code NHMZ 2583.[1]
In 2026, Paul Barrett and his colleagues described NHMZ 2583 as belonging to a new genus and species of sauropodomorph dinosaurs. The generic name, Musango, refers to the Musango Archosaur Site within the Musango Concession Area near the Musango Safari Camp on the shores of Lake Kariba, Zimbabwe, where the holotype was recovered. 'Musango' is a chiShona word meaning 'living in the bush', which can be construed as a reference to the remoteness of the holotype locality. The specific name, matusadonaensis, refers to Matusadona National Park, near the holotype locality.[1]
Musango is the fifth genus of dinosaurs to be named from Zimbabwe,[1] following "Syntarsus" rhodesiensis in 1969,[2] Vulcanodon in 1972,[3] and the contemporary Mbiresaurus in 2022[4] and Musankwa in 2024.[5]
