Name:  Spheniscus urbinai (Penguin)
Geologic Age: Miocene/Pliocene
Stratigraphic detail:  Huarra formation
Location: Atacama Desert, Chile, South America
Comments: This is a nice set of foot bones with claws from a Miocene/Pliocene Penguin that was found in Chile, South America.  These were obtained prior to the ban on exporting fossils... and these are the LAST ONES that you will likely see on the open market... once these are gone.. I will NOT be able to get anymore....  VERY RARE FOSSILS!!!!! There is no reconstruction on any of the bones.   This specimen comes in a 5" x 6" Riker Mount as shown.
