ZVONOK E., GOROBETS L. 2016. A record of a landbird (Telluraves) from the Eocene Ikovo locality (East Ukraine). Acta zool. cracov., 59(1): 37-45.Abstract. First remains of a landbird from the Eocene (Lutetian) marine deposits of the Ikovo locality in Ukraine are described here. These include a single coracoid bone of an immature individual. The coracoid exhibits a combination of traits that is unknown in other species of birds. However, a more complete individual is required to decide if there is a new species of extinct bird. The described specimen exhibits traits comparable to those of the Telluraves clade and is most similar to the Eocene leptosomid Plesiocathartes.
