<dinofyi-dinosaur slug="alca-stewarti"></dinofyi-dinosaur>Alca stewarti is an extinct auk from the Pleistocene of California, USA. A Pacific alcid, its presence on the western North American coast is distinct from most Alca species that are Atlantic in distribution. Known from Pleistocene coastal deposits, it documents either a Pacific lineage or trans-Arctic dispersal of Alca auks during glacial periods.
