<dinofyi-dinosaur slug="elorius-limosoides"></dinofyi-dinosaur>Elorius limosoides is an extinct shorebird (Charadriiformes) from the Eocene of France, its species name limosoides indicating a resemblance to godwits (Limosa). A wading bird, it probed tidal mudflats and estuaries for invertebrates using its long bill. Recovered from Eocene marine and estuarine deposits of the Paris Basin, it contributes to documenting the early Palaeogene radiation of charadriiform shorebirds in western Europe following the end-Cretaceous extinction event.
