iverse vertebrates, especially dinosaurs, mammals, snakes, turtles, crocodi=
les, and invertebrates. The biotic assemblages demonstrate a remarkable deg=
ree of resemblance between these deposits. The palaeobiogeographical affini=
ties of the paleobiota are more intricate, yielding remains of Gondwanan an=
d Laurasian affinities, and some endemic forms. In order to explain the pre=
sence of such a complex biota during the northward drift of the Indian plat=
e (Late Cretaceous period), different palaeobiogeographical models have bee=
n proposed. Special emphasis has been given in this paper to the palaeobiog=
eographical implications of Indian Late Cretaceous dinosaurs. The size of t=
he animal played an essential role in determining the nature of the biotic =
interchange between India and its nearby landmasses. The faunal exchange be=
tween India and Asia through the Kohistan Dras volcanic arc system has been=
 considered as the superlative migratory route, which favoured the small fa=
una during trans-maritime dispersal. Conversely, it was difficult for small=
 animals to cross huge marine boundaries, other than for the very large ver=
tebrates (especially dinosaurs). Consequently, a straight terrestrial cours=
e, especially in the northern India, is a lesser probability, and the dispe=
rsal of these huge vertebrates ought to be seen as part of a &#39;Pan Gondw=
