<dinofyi-dinosaur slug="cepphus-carbo"></dinofyi-dinosaur>† Cepphus carbo is an extinct or fossil alcid of the genus Cepphus from the Pliocene or Pleistocene of Japan. Cepphus guillemots are small, fish-eating auks that dive for prey using their feet for propulsion underwater. This fossil species from Japan contributes to the North Pacific alcid fossil record and informs the evolutionary history of guillemot lineages in Asian Pacific waters. Its description helps clarify the relationship between living Asian and Atlantic Cepphus species.
