Oldest record of Thinocoridae (Aves, Charadriiformes) from South America

Here we describe an isolated distal end of tarsometatarsus coming from the late Miocene levels of the Loma de Las Tapias Formation (San Juan Province, Argentina). The specimen was identified as a Thinocoridae, and constitutes the oldest record for the clade. It also represents the only Tertiary find...
