File:Septencoracias Restoration.jpg
Life reconstruction of Septencoracias morsensis gen. et sp. nov.
Salient diagnostic features of the new fossil relative to other rollers include the larger skull and the small, ovoid and dorsally positioned narial openings. Septencoracias is represented with a brownish and bluish plumage, because brownish and/or bluish feathers occur in all species of rollers and most species of ground-rollers32, and are probably primitive within the Coracii. Plumage pattern and colour are partly based on modifications from: Christian Svane (csv) - Own work, CC BY-SA 2.5, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=719240. Artwork by E.B.
