Here, the most complete large−scale reconstruction of a limb skeleton (a whole wing and a partial hind leg) of a Paleogene Antarctic penguin is reported. All bones are attributable to a single individual identified as Anthropornis sp. The comparative and functional analyses of the material indicate that this bird was most probably well−adapted to land and sea while having a number of intriguing features. The modern−grade carpometacarpal morphology is unique among known Eocene Antarctic species and all but one more northerly taxa.}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={Partial limb skeleton of a “giant penguin” Anthropornis from the Eocene of Antarctic Peninsula}, URL={http://journals.pan.pl/Content/99526/PDF/04_paper.pdf}, doi={10.2478/v10183−012−0017−0}, keywords={Antarctica, Seymour Island, Eocene La Meseta Formation, Sphenisciformes, Anthropornis, wing, hind limb}, }
