Prettige feite

Fumicollis had teeth in its beak, unlike most modern birds.1

It could not fly, but it was a very good swimmer and diver.1 2

Its name comes from the Smoky Hill Chalk where its fossil was found.1

Fumicollis lived about 86 to 82 million years ago in the Western Interior Seaway.3 2

The only known fossil of Fumicollis was discovered in 1937 by Harold Shepherd and George Sternberg.1 2

Fumicollis was a more advanced diver than the similar bird Baptornis, but not as advanced as the larger Hesperornis.1

KI-prent van Fumicollis — 'n KI-prent van hoe Fumicollis dalk gelyk het, deur 'n rekenaar gemaak uit wat wetenskaplikes weet. Dit is 'n raaiskoot: die regte dier het dalk anders gelyk, en niemand weet wat sy regte kleure was nie.

Vir dino-kenners

Wetenskaplike naam: Fumicollis
Benoem deur: Bell and Chiappe 20154
Groep: Vroeë voëls
Familie / klade: Hesperornithiformes4
Klassifikasie: Theropoda > Avialae4
Ouderdom van die rotse: 90 tot 84 miljoen jaar (Coniacian / Santonian)4
Rotsformasies: Niobrara4
Lande: VSA4
Fossielrekords: 1 in The Paleobiology Database4
Ontdekking: Fumicollis was named in 2015 by Alyssa Bell and Luis Chiappe. The only fossil was found in 1937 in Kansas, USA, but was first thought to be a different bird called Baptornis.1 2
Steeds omstrede: Scientists are still debating exactly how fast and deep Fumicollis could dive compared to other hesperornithiform birds.1
