About: Rhynchaeites

An Entity of Type: Bird101503061, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Rhynchaeites is an extinct genus of Threskiornithidae related to modern ibises and has a single named species Rhynchaeites meselensis. It lived in today's Germany during the mid-Eocene and its remains were found in the famous Messel pit. However, leg bone fossils of a similar bird were found in the Early Eocene Fur Formation in Denmark. It has been hypothesized that the supposed parrot relative Mopsitta tanta, known from a single humerus bone, is the same bird as the leg fossils and thus actually belongs in Rhynchaeites too.

  • Rhynchaeites messelensis — викопний вид пеліканоподібних птахів родини ібісових (Threskiornithidae), що існував у середньому еоцені в Європі. Викопні рештки птаха знайдені в Мессельському кар'єрі в Німеччині. Також є припущення, що рештки птаха з раннього еоцену Данії, що описані як Mopsitta tanta, можуть належати Rhynchaeites. (uk)
