Adelalopus

Adelalopus is an extinct genus of bird from the Eocene of Europe, known from fragmentary remains. Its exact systematic placement is uncertain — it has been suggested to belong to Ralloidea or other gruiform lineages. Incomplete fossil material limits detailed interpretation, but it adds to the rich avian diversity of Eocene European faunas.
