Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| L. H. Hou 1997 | Presence of a relatively compact abundant dentition; relatively well developed carpometacarpus; proximal coracoid maintains a well developed head with a distinct procoracoid, coracoid fossae, and haemal foramen, while distally there is a relatively large sterno-coracoidal process and a depression to facilitate sterno-coracoidal musculature. The furcular process has become reduced to resemble the condition on extant wading birds. Sternum is elongated and broadened with a distinct carina, a well developed lateral process, and a posteriorly expanded foot that greatly exceeds the distal end of the sternum body, and elliptical fenestrae are present posteriorly. |
