Palaeornis cliftii
"''Palaeornis''" ''cliftii'' is a pterosaur species known from parts of a single humerus (upper arm bone) found in early Cretaceous period rocks of the upper Tunbridge Wells Sand Formation, England. "''P''." ''cliftii'' represents one of the earliest pterosaur discoveries in England, and has a long and complicated history of controversy and nomenclature.〔Witton, M.P., Martill, D.M., and Green, M. (2009). "On pterodactyloid diversity in the British Wealden (Lower Cretaceous) and a reappraisal of “Palaeornis” ''cliftii'' Mantell, 1844." ''Cretaceous Research'', 30: 676–686.〕
The name ''Palaeornis'' had previously been used for a genus of parakeet (now considered a synonym of ''Psittacula'') by Vigors in 1825.〔Vigors, N.A. (1825). "Sketches in ornithology; or observations on the leading affinities of some of the more extensive groups of birds." ''Zoological Journal'', 2: 37–69.〕 Mantell was apparently aware of this, and in some later publications used to name "''Palaeornithis''" (Mantell, 1848) as a replacement.〔〔Mantell, G.A. (1848). "A brief notice of organic remains recently discovered in the Wealden Formation." ''The Quarterly Journal of the Geological Society of London'', 5: 37–43.〕
