Abstract
A new Early Cretaceous enantiornithine bird from Liaoning Province of northeastern China, Shengjingornis yangi, gen. et sp. nov., is reported. This new bird possesses the following unique combination of features: a long rostrum, with some teeth in the front; short nasal; slender jugal; Y‐shaped furcula, with expanded distal end of the hypocleidum; cake‐like sternum, with a low and caudally distributed keel; strut‐like and caudally concave coracoid. The derived features of the scapula and the wings suggest a powerful flapping flight capability.
