Summary

This paleontological restoration is inaccurate, or its accuracy is disputed.

Reason: Some details in the drawing of the fossil slab do not match with photos and drawings published in scientific papers.

You may ask further questions about the accuracy of this image at the image review page of Wikiproject Palaeontology on the English Wikipedia. Note that this image may be appropriate to illustrate obsolete paleontological views.
Description
English: Drawing of fossil and life restoration of the enatiornith bird Eoalulavis hoyasi.
  • The fossil drawing is based on photos of the main slab and counter slab of the holotype fossil (LH 13500), published in the original description of Eoalulavis.[1]
  • The life restoration is mostly speculation, inspired by modern orders and families of birds living and feeding near water, such as Charadriiformes (the long toes, body shape), Alcedinidae (body shape)[2] and Cinclidae (body shape), as Eoalulavis are thought to have had a similar lifestyle.
