<dinofyi-dinosaur slug="agnopterus-laurillardi"></dinofyi-dinosaur>Agnopterus laurillardi is an extinct flamingo-like bird from the Eocene (~40 Ma) of Europe. Known from the Quercy phosphorites of France and other Eocene deposits, it was a filter-feeding wading bird. Its discovery contributes to understanding the early evolutionary history of phoenicopteriform birds in Europe, predating the modern flamingo lineages.
