Buffetaut, E., G. Dyke, V. Suteethorn, and H. Tong. 2005. First record of a fossil bird from the Early Cretaceous of Thailand. Comptes Rendus Palevol 4(:681-686. doi: 10.1016/j.crpv.2005.06.002.

ABSTRACT: We present the first known occurrence of a Mesozoic fossil bird from Thailand. The new specimen is the distal end of a left humerus, from the Early Cretaceous Sao Khua Formation in the Northeast of the country, and testifies to the presence of a medium-sized avian in these non-marine strata. This is also the first Mesozoic bird known from the whole of Southeast Asia.
