Concornis is a genus of enantiornithean birds which lived during the early Cretaceous period, in the late Barremian age about 125 million years ago. Its remains are known from the Calizas de La Huérgina Formation at Las Hoyas, Cuenca province, Spain. The single known species, Concornis lacustris,[1] was described from the remains of one fairly complete individual skeleton.
- ^ Etymology: "Lacustrine bird from Cuenca province". Concornis, from Latin Conca (the Roman name of the Cuenca region) + Ancient Greek ornis (όρνις) "bird". lacustris, Latin for "lacustrine", "of the lake".
