In Depth
Martinavis is a genus of enantiornithine bird which lived during the late Cretaceous. So far Martinavis is known from several species, and fossils discovered in France, Argentina as well potential remains in the USA. If all these fossils are valid, then at a genus level, Martinavis would have been one of the most widespread enantiornithine birds.
