<dinofyi-dinosaur slug="calciavis-grandei"></dinofyi-dinosaur>† Calciavis grandei is an extinct bird from the Eocene Green River Formation of Wyoming, United States. One of the best-preserved early Cenozoic birds from North America, it is classified within or near the roller-like (Coraciiformes) lineage. Known from a complete, articulated skeleton, it provides significant data on early avian diversification in North America. The species is named in honor of Lance Grande, a prominent authority on Green River Formation fossil fauna.
