<dinofyi-dinosaur slug="chionis-minor"></dinofyi-dinosaur>An extinct species of sheathbill known from fossil material in Australia, Chionis minor is a carnivorous bird related to the modern lesser sheathbill of sub-Antarctic islands. Its Australian occurrence suggests a broader historical distribution for this group of shore birds than seen among living species today.
