Liaoningvenator curriei

Martinavis saltariensis was a Late Cretaceous enantiornithine from Salta Province, Argentina, contributing to the diverse South American Mesozoic avifauna. Enantiornithines were globally distributed and formed the dominant group of Cretaceous birds.

Diet & Feeding

Carnivore

Liaoningvenator curriei was a meat-eating predator. Carnivorous dinosaurs were active hunters or scavengers, equipped with sharp teeth and claws for catching and consuming prey. They occupied the top of the food chain in their ecosystems.

Time Period

Cretaceous Early Mesozoic Era

Liaoningvenator curriei lived during the Cretaceous Early period of the Mesozoic Era, approximately 145.0 to 100.5 million years ago.

The Cretaceous saw continued dinosaur evolution with the rise of ornithopods and early ceratopsians. Flowering plants first appeared and began to transform terrestrial ecosystems. Spinosaurus and other large theropods lived during this time.
