New Fossil Bird had longest wingspan ever!

[Laurul Feather Cat]

Also had "tooth-like" projections growing from their jaw to help them catch prey.

Is that it's beak that he is looking at? Because it sorta looks like the shoebills tip of the beak, (Shoebill is a bird) But how does it have TEETH? I haven't seen a bird or even heard of a bird that has teeth. I wonder how long that... Thing has been laying around for. Wierd...

"The giant bird, which lived roughly 25 million years ago, might have scooped its prey from the ocean's surface, clamping onto any wriggling seafood with its "teeth," which were actually pointy knobs of bone." Extinct bird species had biggest wingspan ever

So from what it says, it didn't have proper teeth but the earliest species of birds often had teeth because they evolved from small dinosaurs. The closest thing that you get in modern birds is serration of the beak like in the goosander.
