    Messelornis cristata Hesse 1988

    From the album: Vertebrates

    Messelornis cristata Hesse 1988 Eocene Lutetian Messel near Darmstadt Germany

    Messelornis christata HESSE, 1989

    It is my pleasure to quote Auspex: "Messelornis is often incorrectly referred to as the "Messel Rail". Although rails are in the same order (Gruiformes, along with the cranes), its closest living relative is the Sunbittern of the American tropics. There are four named species (of two genera) in the family Messelornithidae: Messelornis cristata (only from Messel), M. nearctica (from the Eocene Green River Fm., USA), M. russelli (from the Paleocene of France), and Itardiornis hessae (from the Late Eocene-Early Oligocene fissure-fillings in Quercy, France). According to Gerald Meyer in Paleocene Fossil Birds, there are over 500 specimens of M. cristata known from the Messel pit, constituting roughly half of the bird fossils found there. Interestingly, no juvenile specimens are known from there, which suggests that they did not nest nearby." Would need some prepping - there is still a sand limonite layer on top of the bones.
