The Cretaceous Birds of New Jersey

The Cretaceous Birds of New Jersey, published in 1987 by Storrs L. Olson, is a scientific examination of fossil bird species from Late Cretaceous deposits in New Jersey. The book details the diversity and morphological characteristics of these ancient birds, including the introduction of a new genus, Anatalavis rex, and a proposal for a new family and species, Tytthostonychidae and Tytthostonyx glauconiticus. It revises previously named taxa and enhances understanding of avian evolution and the geological history of the region, comparing fossil remains with modern birds to discuss their evolutionary significance.
