Tingmiatornis lived in the High Arctic during a time of extreme warmth, with no seasonal ice and minimum mean annual temperatures of 14 °C.1

It is known from only a few bones, including a complete left humerus (upper arm bone).1

Tingmiatornis was an ornithurine bird, a group that includes modern birds and their close relatives.1

The fossils were found in a layer of rock between flood basalts and marine shales, suggesting a freshwater or brackish environment.1

Its name comes from the Inuktitut word 'Tingmiat', meaning 'those that fly'.1

Tingmiatornis lived alongside champsosaurs, turtles, and many kinds of fish in the warm Arctic waters.1

?How big was Tingmiatornis?

Nobody knows for sure because only a few bones have been found, but it was a large bird for its time, bigger than the similar Pasquiaornis.2 1

?Could Tingmiatornis fly?

Yes. The thickness of its wing bones shows it was capable of flight, and it probably also dove into the water to catch fish.2 1

?What did Tingmiatornis eat?

It probably ate fish. It lived alongside many kinds of fish, and if it was a diving bird, it would have caught them underwater.2 1

?When did Tingmiatornis live?

It lived about 92 million years ago, during the Turonian stage of the Cretaceous Period.2 1
