Iteravis

Iteravis ("journey bird") is an extinct genus of ornithuromorph avialan. It was found in the Yixian Formation and lived during the Early Cretaceous period of what is today the Liaoning Province of China. The type and only species is I. huchzermeyeri, named in honor of the archosaur palaeontologist Dr. Fritz Huchzermeyer, who died shortly before Iteravis was described.^[1]

Palaeobiology

Iteravis ate larger particles of food than Archaeorhynchus, although the exact details of its diet remain enigmatic.^[2]
