Dysmoropelia dekarchiskos

Dysmoropelia dekarchiskos is an extinct bird of uncertain affinities described from isolated skeletal elements. A small herbivore feeding on seeds and plant material, its exact geographic and stratigraphic provenance remain poorly constrained. The name references its unusual anatomical proportions. Without confirmed discovery locality, it is considered a nomen dubium by some authorities, pending re-examination of the type material with modern phylogenetic methods.
