<dinofyi-dinosaur slug="aldiomedes-angustirostris"></dinofyi-dinosaur>Aldiomedes angustirostris is an extinct albatross from the Miocene (~15 Ma) of North Carolina, USA. A large pelagic seabird with a long narrow bill, it was named by Olson and Rasmussen in 2001. Known from the Pungo River Formation, it represents an early member of the Diomedea albatross lineage in the North Atlantic, far from the modern distribution of albatrosses.
