Messelirrisor

Extinct genus of birds

The extinct Messelirrisor is a genus of Bucerotiformes, the sole representative of the family Messelirrisoridae. They were tiny hoopoe-like birds that were the earliest representatives of the hoopoe/wood-hoopoe lineage, and they were among the predominant small forest birds of Central Europe during the Middle Eocene. Fossilized remains of Messelirrisor have been found in the Messel Pit of Hesse, Germany.
