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 'Pan Gondw= anan' model.</div><div><br></div><div><br>=3D=3D=3D=3D</div><div><br>Al= so, with free pdf:</div><div><br>Muhammad Sadiq Malkani=C2=A0(2019)<br>Rece= ntly Discovered Basilosaurid, Baluchithere Rhinoceros, Horses, Sea Cow, Pro= boscidean, Eucrocodile, Pterosaurs, Plesiosaur, Fishes, Invertebrates and W= ood Fossils, Tracks and Trackways of Dinosaurs from Pakistan; Comparison of= Recognized Four Titanosaur Taxa of Indo-Pakistan with Madagascar.<br>Open = Journal of Geology 9: 919-955.<br>doi: 10.4236/ojg.2019.912098.</div><div><= a href=3D"https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=3Dhttps-3A__www.scirp.= org_journal_paperabs.aspx-3Fpaperid-3D96519&d=3DDwMFaQ&c=3DclK7kQUT= WtAVEOVIgvi0NU5BOUHhpN0H8p7CSfnc_gI&r=3DRy_mO4IFaUmGof_Yl9MyZgecRCKHn5g= 4z1CYJgFW9SI&m=3DiVctil_lVHHPcPI4y3FxkCjMpNbCFP8kLWsPCdGumv4&s=3D8l= EMEB4MpnyYV263YSH97OzMUqLD2lueuXdcFSRUt4o&e=3D">https://www.scirp.org/j= ournal/paperabs.aspx?paperid=3D96519</a>=C2=A0</div><div><br></div><div>Fre= e pdf:=C2=A0<br><a href=3D"https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=3Dhtt= ps-3A__www.scirp.org_pdf_ojg-5F2019112110014529.pdf&d=3DDwMFaQ&c=3D= clK7kQUTWtAVEOVIgvi0NU5BOUHhpN0H8p7CSfnc_gI&r=3DRy_mO4IFaUmGof_Yl9MyZge= cRCKHn5g4z1CYJgFW9SI&m=3DiVctil_lVHHPcPI4y3FxkCjMpNbCFP8kLWsPCdGumv4&am= p;s=3DJCrwJjV4DbTD84dut6JsIGvWSSG65qfXfpA8OMJFd9w&e=3D">https://www.sci= rp.org/pdf/ojg_2019112110014529.pdf</a><br><br>=C2=A0<br>Recent Geological = and Paleontological exploration during the start of new/third millennium (f= rom 2000 to 2019) yielded 45 taxa of vertebrates and invertebrates from Mes= ozoic and Tertiary (except a jawless fish from Cambrian and =C2=A0a trilobi= te from Permo-Triassic boundary) strata of Pakistan like dinosaurs, mesoeuc= rocodiles, eucrocodiles, pterosaurs-light bodied flying reptiles, plesiosau= rs-broad bodied and ichthyosaurs-streamlined bodied reptiles and=C2=A0 fish= es, basilosaurid whale, Baluchithere rhinoceroses and paleo-horses mammals,= invertebrates (hippurites/rudists, oysters, mussels and other bivalves, am= monites, belemnites nautilides and gastropods Mollusca, starfish echinoids,= nummulites, assilina and alveolina foraminifers, arthropods and corals), = =C2=A0algae, sponge and wood fossils.
