abstract = {We describe an enormous Late Cretaceous fossil bird from Kazakhstan, known from a pair of edentulous mandibular rami (greater than 275 mm long), which adds significantly to our knowledge of Mesozoic avian morphological and ecological diversity. A suite of autapomorphies lead us to recognize the specimen as a new taxon. Phylogenetic analysis resolves this giant bird deep within Aves as a basal member of Ornithuromorpha. This Kazakh fossil demonstrates that large body size evolved at least once outside modern birds (Neornithes) and reveals hitherto unexpected trophic diversity within Cretaceous Aves.}

first and second codon position of 1156 clock-like exons for 48 species from Jarvis et al (2014, Science 346), which we filtered for missing data (positions with missing data or gaps for any taxa were deleted) resulting in a final alignment of 124,196 bases. |
