<dinofyi-dinosaur slug="thegornis-musculosus"></dinofyi-dinosaur>Thegornis musculosus is a second Oligocene shorebird from Argentina, larger than Thegornis debilis and named for its well-developed musculature as inferred from bone robustness. These early South American sandpipers illuminate the evolution of the Charadriiformes.
