Gondtherium was found in the Kota Formation, which is considered to be between Middle Jurassic and Early Cretaceous in age. Other Mesozoic mammaliaforms found there include members of Morganucodonta and Amphilestidae. The authors who described Gondtherium - which is known from only a single worn and fragmentary molar tooth - considered it to be a docodontan based on the tooth cusps. However, this has been disputed by several subsequent researchers, and so the exact identity of Gondtherium remains unresolved.
