<dinofyi-dinosaur slug="berruornis-orbisantiqui"></dinofyi-dinosaur>Berruornis orbisantiqui is an extinct owl from Late Cretaceous or Paleocene deposits of France. This carnivorous strigiform is one of the earliest known owls and its phylogenetic position near the base of Strigiformes makes it crucial for understanding owl origins. Its name orbisantiqui means 'of the Old World,' referencing its European provenance in contrast to North American early owls.
