Description: Protoavis texensis ("First bird from Texas") is the name given to archosaurian fossil bones from the Late Triassic found near Post, Texas.
Protoavis is claimed to have been a 35 cm tall bird that lived in what is now Texas, USA,
between 225 and 210 million years ago. Though it existed far earlier than Archaeopteryx,
its skeletal structure is allegedly more bird-like. Protoavis has been reconstructed as
a carnivorous bird that had teeth on the tip of its jaws and eyes located at the front of
the skull, suggesting a nocturnal or crepuscular lifestyle. The fossil bones are too bad
ly preserved to allow an estimate of flying ability; although reconstructions usually
show feathers (see link below), judging from thorough study of the fossil material there
is no indication that these were present.
