Sulcavis is the first bird ever found with decorated tooth enamel. Its teeth had grooves on the inside that made them stronger.1 2

It lived about 121 to 125 million years ago during the Early Cretaceous period.1

Sulcavis belonged to a group of ancient birds called enantiornitheans, which still had teeth and claws unlike modern birds.1

The fossil was found in the Yixian Formation, a famous rock layer in China that has preserved many feathered dinosaurs and early birds.1

Its name comes from Latin words meaning 'groove bird', because of the grooves on its teeth.1
