名字的意思： “bent tooth bird”1

吃：肉早期鳥類白堊紀早期

Camptodontornis was a small, toothed bird that lived during the Early Cretaceous. It had strong jaws and curved teeth, which helped it catch and eat prey. This bird was an enantiornithine, a group of early birds that went extinct with the dinosaurs.2

酷東西

趣味知識

Camptodontornis was originally named Camptodontus, but that name was already used for a beetle, so scientists had to give it a new name in 2019.1

This bird had a Y-shaped furcula, which is the wishbone that helps birds fly.2

Its teeth were strongly curved backward, which helped it hold onto slippery prey.2

Camptodontornis belongs to the family Longipterygidae, a group of early birds with long snouts.2

The only known fossil of Camptodontornis is a nearly complete skeleton found in the Jiufotang Formation of China.3

It lived about 121 to 113 million years ago, during the Aptian age of the Early Cretaceous.3

發現: Camptodontornis was first described in 2010 by Li Li and colleagues based on a skeleton from Liaoning, China. It was originally called Camptodontus, but that name was already taken by a beetle, so in 2019 it was renamed Camptodontornis.1 2
仍有爭議: Scientists are still debating exactly how Camptodontornis is related to other enantiornithine birds.2
