The limestone and clay members of Kota Formation of Upper Gondwana sequence has yielded abundant piscean fauna. pterosaurs and dinosaurs including mammals. The ossiferous zone is found to extend for about 40 km in strike length. Two new symmetrodonts are recognized in the collection.

Trishulotherium kotaensis gen. et sp. nov and Indotherium pranhitai gen. et sp. nov are described and their significance in the evolutionary history of symmetrodonts is outlined.
