Zambiasaurus[1] is an extinct genus of dicynodonts that was discovered in the Middle Triassic (Anisian) Ntawere Formation of Zambia, southern Africa. It was a large dicynodont, reconstructed using several fossil fragments, in majority belonging to probably a juvenile Zambiasaurus submersus.
Zambiasaurus submersus[2] is the type species of the genus Zambiasaurus. It is a stahleckeriid, the first stahleckeriid known outside South America, and it is also the oldest known stahleckeriid.[3]
