Aquilavus

Aquilavus

†Aquilavus was an extinct bird of uncertain affinities from Eocene to Oligocene France, tentatively placed near eagle-like raptors or large wading birds. Known from fragmentary remains, its precise classification remains unclear. Its fossils from Parisian Basin Paleogene deposits contribute to understanding the early diversification of birds across western Europe following the end-Cretaceous extinction.
