Tytthostonyx is a genus of prehistoric seabird. Found in the much-debated Hornerstown Formation which straddles the K–T boundary 65 million years ago, this animal was apparently closely related to the ancestor of some modern birds, such as Procellariiformes and/or Pelecaniformes. A single species is placed herein, Tytthostonyx glauconiticus.
It has been placed into a family of its own, Tytthostonygidae, but whether this is appropriate cannot be determined at present.
Late Cretaceous (100mya - 65mya) refers to the second half of the Cretaceous Period, named after the famous white chalk cliffs of southern England, which date from this time. Rocks deposited during the Late Cretaceous Period are referred to as the Upper Cretaceous Series.

Scientific classification or biological classification is a method by which biologists group and categorize species of organisms. Scientific classification also can be called scientific taxonomy, but should be distinguished from folk taxonomy, which lacks scientific basis.
