Diomedeoididae

Diomedeoididae

†Diomedeoididae is an extinct family of tube-nosed seabirds (Procellariiformes) from the Paleogene of Europe, containing Diomedeoides and related genera. These carnivorous pelagic birds may be stem albatrosses or stem procellariids, and their German Oligocene fossils represent some of the oldest well-preserved Procellariiformes. They illuminate the early evolution of oceanic soaring birds.
