Geology QUESTION #10654
Question 1
Titanosaurian sauropod and Abelisaurid theropod dinosaur fossils have been reported from which region of Pakistan?
  • Kirthar Range, Sindh
  • Pab Range, Balochistan✔️
  • Salt Range, Punjab
  • All of these
Correct Answer Explanation
Pakistan's dinosaur fossil record includes discoveries from the Pab Range, Balochistan, where Late Cretaceous (Maastrichtian) continental deposits of the Vitakri Formation have yielded Titanosaurian sauropod (long-necked herbivores) and Abelisaurid theropod (predatory) dinosaur remains. These findings extend the known geographical range of Gondwanan dinosaur faunas and provide evidence of land connections during the Cretaceous.
