Pengornis is the largest known enantiornithine bird from the Early Cretaceous of northeast China.1

Its skull is one of the best preserved among all Mesozoic birds, showing details like tiny teeth and wear facets.2

Pengornis had a globose humeral head that stuck out further than its deltopectoral crest, a feature not seen in other enantiornithines.2

The name comes from 'Peng', a giant mythological bird in Chinese folklore, and 'ornis' meaning bird in Greek.1

Its teeth were small, conical, and not curved, similar to those of the early bird Archaeopteryx.2

Pengornis had a long tail with a pygostyle, a fused bone at the tip that helped control flight.2
