Austinornis is an extinct genus of prehistoric bird of uncertain phylogenetic placement from the Late Cretaceous of Texas. The paleontologist Julia A. Clarke, who named the genus in 2004 based on a partial tarsometatarsus fossil from Austin Chalk, considered it a pangalliform.[1] However, other researchers have disputed its classification and dismissed it in phylogenetic analyses due to the fragmentary nature of the holotype.[2][3][4] Notably, in 2014, Gerald Mayr suggested that Austinornis is an ornithuran from the Coniacian or Santonian age and that the specimen probably belongs to either Apatornis or Iaceornis.[5]
