Cruschedula revola

Cruschedula revola

Cruschedula revola is an extinct bird of uncertain affinities from Quaternary deposits of Argentina. Tentatively associated with raptor-like taxa based on its robust talon elements, it likely occupied a carnivorous niche as a predator of small vertebrates in South American grasslands. Its geographic distribution during the Pleistocene may have extended across the Pampas region. Systematic revision of South American Quaternary raptors may clarify its placement.
