Check heterodontosaurids, for instance. They form a very small clade of which representatives are known from the Late Triassic to the Berriasian (> 60 Ma). And I remind you that pelagornithids includes currently about a dozen genera, and that many fragmentary specimens have been reported all around the world.This seems to be an awfully long time for a single (or closely related)group of a species to last (to me)? Is there anything in the non-avian dino record that is equivalent? http://blogs.thatpetplace.com/thatbirdblog/2010/10/07/breaking-news-prehistoric-bird’s-wingspan-is-largest-ever-recorded/ http://www.abc.net.au/science/articles/2010/09/16/3013480.htm
