Elbretornis bonapartei

Elbretornis bonapartei

† Elbretornis bonapartei is the type species of Elbretornis, a Late Cretaceous enantiornithine bird from the Allen or Anacleto Formations of Neuquén Province, Argentina. Named in honour of palaeontologist José Bonaparte, one of the founding fathers of South American palaeontology, it was a small toothed avian carnivore of the Patagonian Late Cretaceous ecosystem. Its presence alongside diverse non-avian dinosaurs reflects the terminal Cretaceous diversity of Gondwanan avifaunas.
