Confuciusornis is a genus of crow-sized prehistoric bird from the Early Cretaceous of China, approximately 120 million years ago. Like modern birds, Confuciusornis had a beak, but close relatives of modern birds such as Hesperornis and Ichthyornis were toothed, indicating that the beak evolved convergently in Confuciusornis and living birds.
