Discovery
Sirindhorna is known from the holotype NRRU3001-166, An articulated braincase. It was collected in the Ban Saphan Hin site, Suranaree Subdistrict, Nakhon Ratchasima Province, from the Khok Kruat Formation, dating to the Aptian stage of the late Early Cretaceous, about 125-112 million years ago.[1]
Description
Etymology

The specific name is derived from Khorat, the informal name of Nakhon Ratchasima Province. [1]
