Divisulcus demerei

Divisulcus demerei

†Divisulcus demerei is an extinct carnivorous seabird from Oligocene or Miocene deposits of Baja California, Mexico, tentatively assigned to a stem sulid (booby-gannet) lineage. Its fossil tarsometatarsus suggests a plunge-diving piscivore. Its Mexican occurrence contributes to understanding the early history of suliform seabirds along the Pacific coast of North America.
