Igama lithetha: “mosaic bird”1

Yayitya: InyamaIintaka zokuqalaiCretaceous yokuqala

Musivavis was a tiny, toothed bird that lived in what is now China during the Early Cretaceous. It had a mix of features from different bird groups, like a living mosaic, which is how it got its name.2

Iinyani ezimnandi

Musivavis is known from a single, nearly complete skeleton that is beautifully preserved on one slab of rock.2

It was much smaller than its closest relatives, the bohaiornithids, which were large-bodied enantiornithine birds.2

Its name comes from Latin words meaning 'mosaic' and 'bird', because it has a mix of features from different bird groups.2

Musivavis lived about 122 to 119 million years ago during the Aptian age of the Early Cretaceous.1

It had a furcula (wishbone) with a very deep groove and a sharp keel running along its entire underside.2

The specimen was a young adult, but scientists think it was almost full size when it died.2

Umfanekiso owenziwe yi-AI: Musivavis — Umfanekiso owenziwe yi-AI obonisa indlela Musivavis esenokuba wayekhangeleka ngayo, wenziwe yikhompyutha ngokwento eyaziwa zizazinzulu. Kukuqikelela nje: esona silwanyana sinokuba sasikhangeleka ngenye indlela, kwaye akukho mntu waziyo imibala yaso yokwenyani.

Igama lenzululwazi: Musivavis
Inikwe igama ngu:: Wang et al. 20224
Iqela: Iintaka zokuqala
Usapho / iclade: Enantiornithes4
Ukuhlelwa: Theropoda > Avialae4
Ubudala bamatye: 121 ukuya ku-113 izigidi zeminyaka (Aptian)4
Izakhiwo zamatye: Jiufotang4
Amazwe: iTshayina4
Iirekhodi zeefosili: 1 kwi-Paleobiology Database4
Ukufunyanwa: Musivavis was named in 2022 by Wang and colleagues based on a nearly complete skeleton found in the Jiufotang Formation of Liaoning, China.1 2
Kusaxoxwa ngayo: Scientists are not sure exactly where Musivavis fits in the enantiornithine family tree, because different bird groups evolved similar features separately.2
