Gobipteryx
''Gobipteryx'' (from Gobi (to the Gobi Desert where it was first discovered ), Greek pteron “wing”) is a genus of prehistoric bird from the Campanian Age of the Late Cretaceous Period.〔Elżanowski, A. (1974): Preliminary note on the Palaeognthous bird from the Upper Cretaceous of Mongolia ''Palaeontologia Polonica'' 30.〕 It is not known to have any direct descendants.〔 Like the rest of the enantiornithes clade, ''Gobipteryx'' is thought to have gone extinct near the end of the Cretaceous.〔Padian, K. (2004). "Basal Avialae". chptr 11, in Weishampel, D.B., Dodson, P. and Osmólska, H. (eds.): ''The Dinosauria'' 2nd Edition. University of California Press, Berkeley ISBN 978-0-520-25408-4.〕
==Description==
Based on a skull length of 45 millimeters, ''Gobipteryx'' has been estimated to be approximately the size of a partridge.〔Elżanowski, A. (1976): Palaeognathous bird from the Cretaceous of Central Asia ''Nature'' 264: 51-53. 〕 Its bones are fibrolamellar.〔Chinsamy, A., Elżanowski, A.
