Elsornis

''Elsornis'' is a genus of enantiornithine bird. Only one species is known, ''Elsornis keni''. It lived during the Late Cretaceous. It is known from a partially articulated fossil skeleton found in the Gobi Desert in Mongolia.
The holotype fossil is given catalog number MPD - b 100/201. It is in the collection of the Mongolian Palaeontological Center. The fossil was collected at Togrogiin Shiree, South Gobi Aimak, Mongolia; Djadokhta Formation, Late Cretaceous, Campanian.
The fossil is extremely well preserved in three dimensions. It preserves a pneumatized Furcula, which was a character previously unknown in enantiornithines. Chiappe et al. (2007) conclude from the proportions of ''Elsornis'' ' pectoral skeleton that it was flightless or nearly so.〔Chiappe, L.M. Suzuki, S. Dyke, G.J. Watabe, M. Tsogtbaatard, K. & Barsboldd, R. (2007) (A new Enantiornithine bird from the Late Cretaceous of the Gobi desert ). ''Journal of Systematic Palaeontology'' 5(2):193-208.〕
==Etymology==
The Genus name Elsornis is derived from the Mongolian word "Els", meaning "sand", and "ornis", the Greek word for "bird". The species name "keni" honors Mr. Ken Hayashibara.
