Neobohaiornis is an extinct genus of bohaiornithid enantiornithean birds from the Early Cretaceous (Aptian-aged) Jiufotang Formation of Liaoning Province, China. The genus contains a single species, N. lamadongensis, known from a well-preserved skeleton with feather impressions.
Discovery and naming
The Neobohaiornis holotype specimen, MHGU-0288, was discovered in sediments of the Jiufotang Formation near Lamadong in Jianchang County of Liaoning Province, northeastern China. The specimen is a nearly complete skeleton preserved in dorsal view. Feather traces are visible around much of the skeleton.
In 2024, Shen et al. described Neobohaiornis lamadongensis as a new genus and species of bohaiornithid birds based on these fossil remains. The generic name, Neobohaiornis, combines the Greek prefix "neo-", meaning "new" with an allusion to the Bohaiornithidae (in turn derived from the Bohai Sea and the Greek word ornis, meaning "bird"). This name references the derived morphology of this taxon compared to other members of the clade. The specific name, lamadongensis, refers to Lamadong, a town near the type locality.
