<dinofyi-dinosaur slug="cerorhinca-dubia"></dinofyi-dinosaur>Cerorhinca dubia is an extinct auk (Alcidae) related to the extant rhinoceros auklet (C. monocerata), described from Neogene deposits of the United States. A pursuit-diving seabird, it fed on small fish and marine invertebrates by plunging underwater. The species name dubia reflects uncertainty about its systematic status. Fossil remains indicate a robust bill morphology adapted for grasping prey.
