<dinofyi-dinosaur slug="anisolornis"></dinofyi-dinosaur>†Anisolornis was an extinct large cursorial bird from Miocene Argentina, tentatively assigned to the terror bird lineage (Phorusrhacidae) or related groups. A flightless carnivore, it inhabited open Patagonian habitats during a period of major South American faunal diversification. Its fragmentary remains provide limited but valuable data on Miocene avifaunal composition.
