In Roman mythology, Janus is the god of beginnings, endings and transitions, reflection transitional aspect of the morphology of Janavis (combining plesiomorphic features such as teeth with a neognath-like palate) as well as its temporal provinance (deriving from the uppermost Cretaceous, making it one of the youngest non-neornithine avialian fossils in the world).
