Prettige feite

Elbretornis is known from only one partial skeleton, including a left humerus and parts of the wing and leg.1

It lived during the Maastrichtian age, the very end of the Cretaceous Period, just before the dinosaurs went extinct.1 2

The name Elbretornis honors the El Brete fossil site in Argentina, where many ancient birds have been found.1

Elbretornis was a ground-dwelling bird, and scientists think it was a good runner.2

It was about the size of a modern pigeon, measuring 33 cm (13 in) long and weighing around 570 g (20 oz).1

Some scientists wonder if Elbretornis might actually be the same as another bird from the same site, like Lectavis or Yungavolucris, but Elbretornis was smaller.1

Vir dino-kenners

Wetenskaplike naam: Elbretornis
Benoem deur: Walker and Dyke 20092
Groep: Vroeë voëls
Familie / klade: Euenantiornithes2
Klassifikasie: Theropoda > Avialae2
Ouderdom van die rotse: 72 tot 66 miljoen jaar (Maastrichtian)2
Rotsformasies: Lecho2
Lande: Argentinië2
Fossielrekords: 2 in The Paleobiology Database2
Ontdekking: Elbretornis was named by Cyril A. Walker and Gareth J. Dyke in 2009. The only known fossil was found at the El Brete locality in Argentina.1 2
Steeds omstrede: Because only a few bones are known, scientists are not sure if Elbretornis is a distinct species or if it belongs to another enantiornithine bird from the same area.1
