Khinganornis (after the Greater Khingan mountain range) is a genus of ornithuromorph dinosaurs from the Early Cretaceous Longjiang Formation of Liaoning, China. The genus contains a single species, Khinganornis hulunbuirensis, known from a nearly complete fossil preserved on a slab and counter slab. The holotype most likely represents an adult individual.[1]
