A Troodontid (Theropoda: Troodontidae) Neurocranium from the Cerro del Pueblo Formation (Late Campanian) of Coahuila, Mexico
Resumen
The fossil record of Troodontidae from Mexico’s Late Cretaceous is scarce since the majority of theropod specimens have not been identified beyond their family. In Coahuila’s locality La Parrita, a neurocranium that contributes to our understanding of Late Campanian troodontids in the Cerro del Pueblo Formation has been found. It is the first non-dental material described in Mexico for the family.
