Trogonophlius
Trogonophlius is a genus of extinct birds that lived during the Eocene epoch. Fossil remains of Trogonophlius have been found primarily in Europe, with significant discoveries in Germany and France. This genus is notable for its evolutionary position, often considered a primitive relative of modern trogons and their allies, though its exact phylogenetic placement remains a subject of ongoing scientific debate.
The fossils suggest Trogonophlius was a relatively small to medium-sized bird. Its beak morphology indicates a
The discovery of Trogonophlius contributes to our understanding of avian diversity during the Paleogene period. It
