We report a transport study on Pd₃In₇ which displays multiple Dirac type-II nodes in its electronic dispersion. Pd₃In₇ is characterized by low residual resistivities and high mobilities, which are consistent with Dirac-like quasiparticles. For an applied magnetic field (μ₀H) having a non-zero component along the electrical current, we find a large, positive, and linear in μ₀H longitudinal magnetoresistivity (LMR). The sign of the LMR and its linear dependence deviate from the behavior reported for the chiral-anomaly-driven LMR in Weyl semimetals. Interestingly, such anomalous LMR is consistent with predictions for the role of the anomaly in type-II Weyl semimetals. In contrast, the transverse or conventional magnetoresistivity (CMR for electric fields E⊥μ₀H) is large and positive, increasing by 10³–10⁴ % as a function of μ₀H while following an anomalous, angle-dependent power law ρ_xx α (μ₀H)ⁿ with n(θ) ≤ 1. The order of magnitude of the CMR, and its anomalous power-law, is explained in terms of uncompensated electron and hole-like Fermi surfaces characterized by anisotropic carrier scattering likely due to the lack of Lorentz invariance.
