A euenantiornithine bird from the Late Cretaceous Ha?eg Basin of Romania
A euenantiornithine bird from the Late Cretaceous Ha?eg Basin of Romania
We present the first record of a euenantiornithine bird from Romania. A small collection of fossil remains from the Maastrichtian add to the known distribution of large euenantiornithines and descriptions of birds from the Ha?eg Basin augment the known vertebrate fauna from this famous region of Translyvania. The new specimens referred here to an indeterminate taxon of euenantiornithine further demonstrate that the larger members of this diverse Cretaceous lineage were globally distributed, as many birds are today.

Abstract
We present the first record of a euenantiornithine bird from Romania. A small collection of fossil remains from the Maastrichtian add to the known distribution of large euenantiornithines and descriptions of birds from the Ha?eg Basin augment the known vertebrate fauna from this famous region of Translyvania. The new specimens referred here to an indeterminate taxon of euenantiornithine further demonstrate that the larger members of this diverse Cretaceous lineage were globally distributed, as many birds are today.
