<dinofyi-dinosaur slug="caspiodontornis-kobystanicus"></dinofyi-dinosaur>† Caspiodontornis kobystanicus is an extinct seabird from the Neogene of Kobystan, Azerbaijan, near the Caspian Sea region. The name references the Caspian Sea (Caspian + Greek ornis, bird) and the Kobystan region where the fossil was found. A carnivorous bird, it likely inhabited the margins of the ancient Paratethys Sea or early Caspian basin, preying on fish and aquatic invertebrates. Its discovery provides rare data on Neogene avian diversity in the Central Asian biogeographic province.
