Indosaurus was another abelisaur from India, living about 69 million years ago in the Maastrichtian stage of the Late Cretaceous. It was found in the Lameta Formation in India, but the first fossil found has been lost. It probably had horns above its eyes, and may have been related to the South American Carnotaurus. This is groundbreaking as it indicates that India might not have been a separate continent for as long as paleontologists think, and that South America and India might have been connected at times through land bridges. There is speculation that it is the same as the abelisaurs Indosuchus and Compsosuchus, given that they were all found in similar places by the same paleontologists. This is especially interesting in light of the fact that another Carnotaurine abelisaur was found in India, Rajasaurus.
