A lithornithid, it was closely related to modern ratites, but it was a capable flyer.[1] EcologyHailing from the Walbeck Paleocene deposits, it is found amidst a rich avian fauna, which also included the gigantic Gastornis and the enigmatic ratite Remiornis.
Like most lithornithids, it was probably a very competent flyer, its coracoid remnants suggesting powerful flight musculature, and it likely engaged in a similar style of soaring flight to Lithornis and Pseudocrypturus.[1] References1. ^1 2 Gerald Mayr, The Birds from the Paleocene Fissure Filling of Walbeck (Germany), Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology 27(2):394–408, June 2007 {{Taxonbar|from=Q23305166}} 5 : Bird genera|Paleognathae|Paleogene birds of Europe|Paleocene birds|Cenozoic birds of Europe |
