Nanantius
Flying
N. eos was about the size of a blackbird; it probably looked
like a miniature gull with clawed wings and a neck and head more
similar to that of a feathered theropod dinosaur. It presumably fed
on marine invertebrates and small fish. The theory that
Nanantius were seabirds is evidenced by the fact that another
tibiotarsus referable to this genus, and quite possibly to N. eos
itself, was found in the gut of an ichthyosaur.
