Alexornis was a tiny bird that lived during the Late Cretaceous in what is now Mexico. It was about the size of a sparrow and probably ate insects or other small animals. This bird is special because it belongs to a group called enantiornithines, which had a backwards shoulder joint compared to modern birds.13

1

Alexornis is known from only one partial skeleton, which includes shoulder, wing, and leg bones, but no skull.1

2

It weighed only about 35.6 grams, which is roughly the same as a modern sparrow.1

3

When first discovered, scientists thought Alexornis was an ancestor of kingfishers and woodpeckers, but later studies showed it was an enantiornithine bird.1

4

Enantiornithines like Alexornis had a reversed joint between the shoulder blade and the collarbone, which confused early researchers.1

5

The fossil was discovered in 1971 and formally described in 1976 by paleontologist Pierce Brodkorb.1

6

Alexornis lived during the Santonian age of the Late Cretaceous, about 85 to 83 million years ago.3
