摘要：
The holotyic and referred specimens of the slender and large bodied Vitakridrinda sulaimani (Vitakrisauridae, Theropoda) were found in the latest Cretaceous Vitakri Formation of Sulaiman Basin, Balochistan, Pakistan. The holotypic fossil record of Vitakridrinda rostrum demonstrates the serious confrontation between theropods which resulted in the death of Vitakridrinda. This rostrum provides further opportunity for the study of phylogeny, paleobiogeography, behaviors like fighting, scavenging, predatory and interaction among theropods. © 2010 China University of Geosciences and Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
