Anabernicula oregonensis

Anabernicula oregonensis

Anabernicula oregonensis is an extinct small duck from the Pliocene (~4 Ma) of Oregon, USA. One of the earliest Anabernicula species, it was named from material recovered from Pliocene lake deposits. Its discovery in Oregon documents the early radiation of small dabbling waterfowl in the Pacific Northwest before the glacial fluctuations of the Pleistocene reshaped western North American habitats.
