Reptilia - Bohaiornithidae
Longusunguis kurochkini n. gen., n. sp. Wang et al. 2014
Wang et al. 2014 1 individual
IVPP V 17964, a complete and articulated skeleton, preserved in a slab
Parabohaiornis martini n. gen., n. sp. Wang et al. 2014
Wang et al. 2014 2 individuals
Holotype IVPP V 18691, a nearly complete and partially articulated skeleton, preserved in a single slab, which most likely represents a subadult individual based on the absence of fusion in some compound bones (e.g., carpometacarpus, tibiotarsus and tarsometatarsus); Referred specimen IVPP V 18690, an articulated partial skeleton (missing the skull, ulna, radius and hands), preserved in a single slab. The degree of fusion in compound bones (e.g. carpometacarpus and tarsometatarsus) indicates subadult status, although this specimen appears to be more mature than the holotype.
