<dinofyi-dinosaur slug="aegolius-martae"></dinofyi-dinosaur>Aegolius martae is an extinct owl from the Miocene of Europe. A small strigid owl related to modern saw-whet owls, it was described from fossil material recovered in central Europe. Its discovery extends the temporal range of the genus Aegolius into the Miocene and documents the ancient distribution of these small nocturnal raptors across the Old World.
