Phoenicopterichnum <\/em>sp.<\/h1>\n

Phoenicopterichnum<\/em> is an ichnotaxon including traces made by flamingoes, of the family Phoenicopteridae. Australia was once home to at least four species of flamingo, but none lived past the Pleistocene epoch.<\/p>\n

This trace fossil shows the footprints and feeding traces left by a small number of flamingoes in a shallow waterhole in the early Pliocene (~4 million years ago) of central South Australia.<\/p>\n
