REFERRED SPECIMENS: ZPAL­MgR­I/32 (Elzanowski, 1976, 1977), poorly preserved preorbital portions of the skull and mandible, with portions of palatal bones; PIN­4492 (Kurochkin, 1996), partial skeleton preserving the rostral portion of the snout and mandible, and the two pterygoids in articulation with the parasphenoid rostrum [this specimen was used as the holotype of Nanantius valifanovi (Kurochkin, 1996); the synonymy of this name and the referral of this specimen is discussed below]; IGM­100 /1011, nearly complete preorbital region of the skull, scleral ossicles, and portions of the mandibular rami.</p> <p>LOCALITY AND HORIZON: The Barun Goyot Formation localities of Khulsan (ZPAL­ MgR­I/12, ZPAL­MgR­I/32) and Khermeen Tsav (PIN­4492), and the Djadokhta Formation locality of Ukhaa Tolgod (IGM­100/ 1011). These localities are within the Nemegt Valley in southern Mongolia; the Barun Goyot and Djadokhta are regarded as Campanian age formations (Jerzykiewicz and Russell, 1991; Gao and Norell, 2000).</p> <p>DIAGNOSIS: Toothless enantiornithine bird, with the derived presence of upturned rostrum, premaxilla with a large, horseshoeshaped palatal chamber, a diamond­shaped maxillary facet on its ventrocaudal corner, and longitudinal grooves on each side of the midline of its dorsal surface.</p></div> 	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/039787E8FFE8B62F72F136F7FBC5F981	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
