[edit] Merge request

  • Set up merge request. Reasons: only add info in Ichthyornis dispar is synonymy. In line with the KISS principle, Ichthyornis should be the page to merge to (shorter name, 2.5 times as many pages linking to it). Dysmorodrepanis 19:13, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Revision of Ichthyornis

Clarke (2004) assigned Graculavus lentus to a new genus, which she named Austinornis, and Ichthyornis tener to a new genus, Guidavis. Remove these species from this page.

Are Ichthornis anceps, I. victor, I. agilis, I. validus, and Angeliornis antecessor probably disitnct from I. dispar?

[edit] Size?

How big was this animal? The article gives no indication whatsoever.

It was about the size of a gull (~ 2 ft or 60 cm long). ArthurWeasley 04:10, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
