Enantiornithes
The Enantiornithes, also known as enantiornithines or enantiornitheans in literature, are a group of extinct avialans ("birds" in the broad sense), the most abundant and diverse group known from the Mesozoic era.
See Zhouornis and Enantiornithes
Extinction
Extinction is the termination of a taxon by the death of its last member.
Genus
Genus (genera) is a taxonomic rank above species and below family as used in the biological classification of living and fossil organisms as well as viruses.
Jehol Biota
The Jehol Biota includes all the living organisms – the ecosystem – of northeastern China between 133 and 120 million years ago. Zhouornis and Jehol Biota are paleontology in Liaoning.
Liaoning
Liaoning is a coastal province in Northeast China that is the smallest, southernmost, and most populous province in the region.
Type species
In zoological nomenclature, a type species (species typica) is the species name with which the name of a genus or subgenus is considered to be permanently taxonomically associated, i.e., the species that contains the biological type specimen (or specimens).
