Its fossil was discovered in 1992 but was not officially named until 2018.1
Mirarce had quill knobs on its ulna bone, which are bumps that help anchor flight feathers. This is the first time such knobs have been found in enantiornithine birds.21
It had a deeply keeled sternum (breastbone) and a narrow furcula (wishbone), features that improved its flight abilities.2
Mirarce lived during the Campanian age of the Late Cretaceous, about 76 to 74 million years ago.1
Its name combines Latin 'mirus' (wonderful) and the Greek messenger Arke, referring to its well-preserved flight-related features.1

?How big was Mirarce?
Mirarce was about the size of a turkey vulture, growing to around 60 cm tall. It weighed about 0.45 kg.13
?What did Mirarce eat?
Mirarce was a raptorial predator, meaning it hunted and ate other animals. It had powerful talons and leg tendons, similar to modern birds of prey.1

- Scientists are still debating how enantiornithine birds like Mirarce compare to modern birds in terms of flight abilities and evolutionary relationships.2

Buli kituufu ku lupapula luno kirina ennamba eraga ensibuko yaakyo. Bwe tuba nga tukoze ensobi, tusonyiwe, ffe tuli bawagizi ba dayinoso, so si magazini ya ssaayansi. Tubuulire ku [email protected] tujja kugitereeza.
Rex alumwa enjala! Dino Wiki pulojekiti ya taata eri mutabani we ayagala ennyo dayinoso, ya bwereere, tewali bulango era tewali bikulondoola. Abakulu basobola okuwa Rex akantu ak'okulya okuyamba okugikuuma ku mutimbagano.Liisa Rex
