<dinofyi-dinosaur slug="dynamopterus-gaillardi"></dinofyi-dinosaur>†Dynamopterus gaillardi is an extinct pelagornithid or large seabird from Eocene–Oligocene deposits of France. Named after its describer, this carnivorous soaring bird hunted fish over ancient European seas. Its French occurrence adds to the record of giant bony-toothed birds that dominated oceanic skies during the Paleogene across the former Tethys region.
