I just ordered this piece which I was watching for quite a while as I wanted to add some more bird material to my collection. It's a penguin beak found in the Bahia Inglesa Formation, Atacama Desert, Copiapo, Chile (Pliocene, around 4 mya). It was listed as "Pelecyornis sp." but since that is a genus terror bird I don't think that ID is correct. After doing some google research I am more leaning towards perhaps Spheniscus urbinai or Spheniscus megaramphus or another species. But I am far from an expert on bird material let alone fossil penguins so I was hoping on some imput from more experienced members on that field.

Hi guys, I don’t really know the Chilean fauna so any help would be appreciated. 1. Label is outdated so it should read Bahia inglesa fm, rather than huarra, however, I didn’t know the scientific name of a dogfish from here. 2. some sand tiger shark? Not sure of species or even genus 3. could be another sand tiger but could be a small hastalis? 4. Carcharhinus Priscus?
