Bumbaniralla walbeckornithoides

† Bumbaniralla walbeckornithoides is an extinct carnivorous bird from the Paleogene fossil beds of Mongolia. Its species name indicates resemblance to Walbeck avian fauna — an important early Paleogene bird locality in Germany — suggesting shared primitive avian features. Recovered from the Bumban deposits of Central Asia, this taxon represents early Cenozoic carnivorous birds of uncertain systematic placement within Neornithes.
