Macrodontopteryx

Pseudodontornis

A pseudotooth bird's lower right dentary piece (specimen YPM 4617) from near Charleston, South Carolina (USA) – apparently dredged up from near the source of the Stono River – was provisionally assigned to P. longirostris as it closely matches the holotype in size and appearance.
