Graculavus velox?
Reading edition
Figure 9d
Referred Material.—Abraded right carpometacarpus consisting mainly of the major metacarpal, NJSM 11854.
Locality and Horizon.—Collected from the main fossiliferous layer of the Inversand Company marl pit, Sewell, Gloucester County, New Jersey; Hornerstown Formation, latest Cretaceous (Maastrichtian); collected 25 February 1976 by David C. Parris.
Measurements (in mm).—Length 51.0.
Comparisons.—Nothing can be said about this very poor specimen except that it came from a bird with a carpometacarpus slightly larger than that of a modern specimen of the burhinid Esacus magnirostris. Because Graculavus velox is the only bird yet known in the New Jersey fossil fauna that was of this same size, the present specimen may possibly be referable to that species.
