Resumen

El registro fósil de Troodontidae del Cretácico Tardío de México es escaso, pues la mayoría de los especímenes de terópodo no han sido identificados más allá de su familia. En la localidad de La Parrita en Coahuila, se ha encontrado un neurocráneo que contribuye a nuestra comprensión de los troodóntidos en la Formación Cerro del Pueblo en Coahuila durante el Campaniano Tardío. Siendo el primer material no dental descrito en México de la familia.
