(a) Palaeogeographic reconstruction of the latest Cretaceous (∼65.5 Ma) showing previously known occurrences of Troodontidae (yellow circles) and location of the new specimen described here (yellow star). Occurrence data were downloaded from the Paleobiology Database on 30 November 2012 using the group name ‘Troodontidae’ and the following parameter: time interval, Late Cretaceous. Inset shows locality information for the Kallamedu Formation field site in the Cauvery Basin, Tamil Nadu, South India, projected on approximate palaeocoastline.
