Halimornis was an
Mooreville Chalk Formation in Greene County, Alabama
. It is known from a single fossil individual, including preserved vertebrae, leg bones and part of the humerus (upper arm bone).
At the time, the area where the Mooreville Chalk was deposited was situated on the southern coast of the
Nanantius eos, the slightly younger Martinavis and "Ichthyornis" minusculus, which was originally misidentified as Ichthyornis based on its presence in marine deposits.[1]
