Rahiolisaurus was another abelisaurid from India, about 72 to 66 million years ago in the Maastrichtian stage of the Late Cretaceous. It was found in the Lameta Formation in Gujarat, India. The fossils probably come from seven different individuals and represent a variety of growth stages, though all are from the same species. It was a large abelisaurid, about 8 meters long, and it was very similar to Rajasaurus, but was overall more gracile and slender than Rajasaurus. It lived with sauropods such as Isisaurus and Lametasaurus, which Rahiolisaurus possibly hunted, especially the juvenile sauropods. It would have been possible that all the individuals buried together here had been in a group hunting together, or that there was some kind of predator trap present (such as quicksand or a tar pit.)
