Elsornis is a genus of enantiornithine bird. Only one species is known, Elsornis keni. It lived during the Late Cretaceous. It is known from a partially articulated fossil skeleton found in the Gobi Desert in Mongolia. The holotype fossil is given catalog number MPD - b 100/201. It is in the collection of the Mongolian Palaeontological Center. The fossil was collected at Togrogiin Shiree, South Gobi Aimak, Mongolia; Djadokhta Formation, Late Cretaceous, Campanian. A study by Atterholt et al. in 2018 places Elsornis in the family Avisauridae.

dbo:abstract
  • Elsornis is a genus of enantiornithine bird. Only one species is known, Elsornis keni. It lived during the Late Cretaceous. It is known from a partially articulated fossil skeleton found in the Gobi Desert in Mongolia. The holotype fossil is given catalog number MPD - b 100/201. It is in the collection of the Mongolian Palaeontological Center. The fossil was collected at Togrogiin Shiree, South Gobi Aimak, Mongolia; Djadokhta Formation, Late Cretaceous, Campanian. The fossil is extremely well preserved in three dimensions. It preserves a pneumatized Furcula, which was a character previously unknown in enantiornithines. Chiappe et al. (2007) conclude from the proportions of Elsornis ' pectoral skeleton that it was flightless or nearly so. A study by Atterholt et al. in 2018 places Elsornis in the family Avisauridae. (en)
  • Elsornis keni (Елсорніс) — вид викопних енанціорносових птахів, що мешкав в крейдяному періоді (80 млн років тому). Викопні рештки знайшли у пластах формації Djadokhta у пустелі Гобі, Монголія в 2007 році. Голотип, що являє собою неповний кістяк, зберігається під номером MPD — B 100/201 у колекції Палеонтологічного монгольського центру. (uk)
