Abstract
AbstractA new Early Cretaceous enantiornithine bird from Liaoning Province of northeastern China, Shengjingornis yangi, gen. et sp. nov., is reported. This new bird possesses the following unique combination of features: a long rostrum, with some teeth in the front; short nasal; slender jugal; Y‐shaped furcula, with expanded distal end of the hypocleidum; cake‐like sternum, with a low and caudally distributed keel; strut‐like and caudally concave coracoid. The derived features of the scapula and the wings suggest a powerful flapping flight capability.
