Abstract��
��ecent geological and paleontological exploration in the Indus basin of Pakistan allowed the discover- ies of numerous remains of non-marine reptiles (titanosaurian sauropod��abelisaurian and noasaurian theropod dinosaurs)��and marine reptiles (crocodiles)��flying reptiles (pterosaurs)��marine and non-marine mammals�� fishes��invertebrates��and plants��especially Pakistan is relatively rich in footprints/trackways in the Mesozoic�� These vertebrates of Indo-Pakistan are very significant for paleobiogeographic study due to the present-day con- nection of this continent with Asia in Northern Hemisphere��whereas during past (Jurassic and pre-Jurassic) it was connected to the Gondwana�� The Mesozoic vertebrates show close affinities with Gondwanan landmasses�� The Cenozoic vertebrates show Eurasian affinity and migrated from Indo-Pak subcontinent to Eurasia or vice ver- sa via Paleo Indus ��iver systems along Western Indus Suture��after long journey of about 6 000 km the first col- lision of Indo-Pak subcontinent with Asia occurred at terminal Cretaceous�� |
